I love the meta quality of this, the sort of internal jokes that I know all make sense to you and that, in their nonsensical quality, push this into the poetic. That's always been my favorite aspect of your writing.
Now about the personal side: I'm so sorry you're going through this. But at the same time, I see you finding yourself and discovering strengths that maybe you didn't realize you had. You're going to be OK.
And hey, the thing about those pop cultural things you shared, you loved them because YOU loved them. Maybe you let her in on them for a while, but they never stopped being yours. I am notorious for warming up in-jokes for new people, so that I can keep telling them. I still hold onto habits instilled in me by former loves. Why? Because they're mine now. Part of me. And that's one of the most wonderful things about being human: how we enrich our existence with the fluff and sparkle of our experiences.
