blocked and unblocked for months. read old chats at 2am. told myself i was "processing." last weekend we met "one last time" and it turned into a scene outside the bar.
three-card on "what was that" — The Devil and The Moon and The Tower. chain, fog, crash.
did tower free me, or am i about to rebuild the same loop with better excuses?
The Devil and The Moon and The Tower is a stuck pattern that ends in a loud break. The Devil: pull, habit, hard to stop. The Moon: fog. You tell soft stories at night. The Tower: the pattern breaks in a way you cannot ignore. Together: the crash can be an exit. It is only freedom if you stop rebuilding the chain. Concrete check: keep the block. No "one last coffee." Delete the thread backup this week.
deleting the backup feels final. probably why i kept it.
final is the point. moon stories hate final.
Reading old chats in the dark is Devil plus Moon. It feeds the loop. Real processing is with a friend or therapist in daylight — not the inbox.
2am inbox was my whole personality for a while. daylight talk helped.
You do not need a softer ending to prove it was wrong. If it became a scene, believe the scene. Stay away while you are still shaky.
believing the scene. no coffee. ok.
one last time already happened. don't schedule another.
Missing the pull does not mean go back. Devil habits leave an echo. Keep the block. Plan evenings so 2am is not empty. Echo fades with new routine.
evenings planned. block stays. thank you.
delete the backup. keep the block. no last coffee.
scene outside the bar was the tower. don't romanticize it later.
excuses are how loops rebuild. stay boring and blocked.
fog made the chain look like love. daylight says it was a loop.
got it
