2025-05-19 18:40:12 +0000 UTCThank you for sharing so much of yourself in this one, Brady. I think this section of the game is tough for a lot of people. Anyone who's been through a really bad breakup, really, where they moved on and you didn't right away. I know EXACTLY what you mean about unwillingly commemorating the anniversaries. It wasn't until you started talking about that in this video that I remembered how, after my last bad breakup, I did that for... literally years afterwards; long after I'd found a new, healthier relationship (with the lovely human I am currently married to). Even though I didn't want to anymore, I'd still remember, and think to myself, "Oh right. It's November __, the day when my ex first dumped me." "Oh, this is the date she decided she'd made a mistake and wanted me back." (The fourth breakup — the one that actually stuck — I've never forgotten because it happened over text the morning of December 24th! XD I did not have the best family Christmas party that year, lol) But I think that's, honestly, normal when you go through something painful like that that leaves you with very little closure. But the good news is that, as you've noticed and as have other commenters, time DOES eventually make this stuff easier. Even for Harry — because he wasn't remembering her face anymore. Instead, Dora was played by Dolores Dei in this dream. It's associative and there's reason for it... but it also shows the memory growing more distant, and is a sign of healing, ultimately, I think. And that's how we do this, right? One day at a time. Sunrise, parabellum.
