1
Yeah, we hung out and have fun, but did I want to be in a long-distance relationship with you afterwards?
2
No. And that should be OK with you.
3
I tried to call him, and he refused to talk to me on the phone.
4
Do you have any breakup texts?
5
Actually, I don't.
6
I deleted it.
7
I was having like 20-20 vision, trying to get rid of my demons.
8
Breakup texts?
9
I deleted them all.
10
I deleted them.
11
I prefer to do that stuff in person, or at least on a FaceTime, not through text.
12
Oh, I had the text.
13
Let's do it.
14
That shit was fun, but maybe I should let you focus on school.
15
She said, okay, haha.
16
I said, I mean, if you really need time, I don't want you getting bored of me fast.
17
That's what she said, like, I get bored fast.
18
Like, oh, ew.
19
She says, OMG, but okay, if you say so.
20
I'm like, okay.
21
And then we ended it there.
22
I'm like, okay.
23
And then I just feel better.
24
It was the most invested I had ever been in a relationship.
25
We had said I love you to each other already and then she texted me, breaking up with me.
26
If I'm being totally honest, I've had a lot of time to think about everything and I really only have time to focus on school.
27
I don't think her personalities click super great at this time in my life, even though you're absolutely wonderful.
28
I feel like my only compatible personality right now for me is Joss.
29
For context, Joss is her cat.
30
I'm sorry for the potential stress and frustration I've caused you.
31
I hope you can forgive me, Sam.
32
I'm super upset at life right now, but I understand and respect your priorities and why you're doing this.
33
Kind of wish we could talk about this in person at some point.
34
I have some questions if that's okay.
35
Hope you're doing okay.
36
Send Joss a kissy kiss.
37
Then we had exchanges for maybe a month where I kept being like, okay, so like, can we meet?
38
And she would be like, yeah, sure, this week.
39
And then she'd be like, actually, I'm busy, maybe next week.
40
And I was really disappointed because I thought, you know, you at least owe me like an apology or something in person.
41
And I thought, you know, what we had was a little more real than that. But yeah.
42
Stuff kind of hit the fan and her car got towed and she needed $600.
43
I lent her the $600 and then on June 16th, 2018, I said good morning at 8.05, no response.
44
Hey, baby, at 1.43, no response.
45
11.30 p.m., I said goodnight.
46
Eventually on the 20th, the exchange is this.
47
Hey, hey, hey you, smiley face, because I'm cool.
48
Listen, I'll pay you back as soon as I can, but I can't be in a relationship with you.
49
It weighs too hard on my conscious that I'm not a good partner.
50
I'm sorry to do this through text, but I don't have the energy for more right now.
51
You're free.
52
Be happy with someone normal.
53
Couple months later, I didn't get a text from her, but I got a message from her email to my phone.
54
And it's her, and it's like, Hey Eric, I hope you're doing well.
55
Also, just to let you know, I should be able to pay you back next month.
56
Sorry about the forever wait.
57
And I've never, I've still never seen the money.
58
She deleted me off all social media, and that was like two years ago, three years ago.
59
Okay, look, I saw your phone while waiting for you, waiting for you and I saw her as your screensaver.
60
I don't know what's going on anymore, but I think I have a good idea at this point.
61
And of course, what are you talking about?
62
And I just tell him I wanna know why she's your screensaver.
63
And there's a 30 minute blank, no response, but he leaves me on read.
64
So I'm like, okay, I know he's thinking of a lie.
65
I know he's thinking of something to tell me.
66
And this is what he comes up with.
67
It's an app I found that changes screensavers like a slideshow.
68
I have so many pictures I couldn't choose one.
69
Ramon, you know I wouldn't do like that.
70
And I'm like, okay.
71
I knew in that moment all the red flags were in fact red flags, and this relationship needed to be done.
72
He kind of attacks me and he's like, okay, believe what you want.
73
So I send him like three question marks like, whoa.
74
Then he ends the conversation and he goes, like I said, believe what you want.
75
It's an app and sorry she was the screen saver when you looked, but you know I love you and wouldn't do you like that.
76
And it hurts to think that you think it's like that.
77
I'll talk to you later." And he put a period at the end.
78
So he was being very stern because that's not how he talks or types.
79
So I knew that he blamed it on me for believing what was the truth.
80
So that's kind of how it went.
81
He's still with the girl.
82
He reaches out to me sometimes.
83
He stalks my Instagram profile.
84
So I said, there's something I've been wanting to tell you, but it's something that should be said in person.
85
Are you doing anything on Saturday?
86
And then I said, or would you rather not see me?
87
And he said, I really don't want to see you, I'm sorry.
88
I said, I understand, it's a lot.
89
And he said, just tell me shit or don't tell me at all.
90
And I said, okay, let me type it up.
91
He said, okay, don't tell me at all, goodbye, Anna.
92
And then I said, it's something I need to say, but I'm gonna tell you, just give me a few minutes.
93
And he said, dude, really, Anna, this is ridiculous.
94
And I'm like trying to type it up, but I kind of learned like, it just has to be short and sweet.
95
It can't be me saying like, I'm in pain or, you know, I'm going through this.
96
So I said, long story short, since you don't want the full story, is I was having a miscarriage the week we broke up.
97
I didn't know until last Friday.
98
And he said, okay, Anna, I'm really sorry about that.
99
I said, I probably should have kept that to myself.
100
He said, no, it's okay.
101
I'm going to go to sleep though.
102
I said, that hurts because it's like,
103
I didn't even know that I was pregnant beforehand.
104
It was hard and so I wanted to reach out to him.
105
I don't know.
106
I don't know why I thought he would care.
107
And I don't know why I wanted him to care too because obviously like we weren't, no matter what we weren't going to be together.
108
I was just...
109
Like going through something like that really changes your head.
110
So it's hard to move on when there's that constant reminder of what could have been and what,
111
you know, I went through.
112
And so I'm feeling hopeful, but it's just...

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
