There’s an irony in how often goodbye is never the last word between two people – especially two people who used to love each other.
It’s too nice; it’s too, well, good. And so many of us are not.
We’re too hurt and busy and insecure and broken to manage the kind of farewell someone in a Jane Austen might pull off (though they never actually got laid so what did they know).
Well, thanks to the Tumblr blog The Last Message Received, you can now see the anonymous “submissions of the last messages people received from ex-friends or ex-significant others, as well as from deceased friends, significant others, and relatives.”
So grab a box of Kleenex and your head full of old memories and get ready to get lost for the next few hours.
Not only do we get tot see the last messages between old lovers and friends, but some submissions go on to include details surrounding the event:

My best friend and I got in an argument.
This one is all too familiar.
And we’re done.
