How to stop comparing yourself to the new girl?

Back story: My ex and I broke up 3 years ago. I kept the hope alive after the breakup thinking we would eventually get back together.

He was very sweet and always let me know I’m pretty in the beginning of our relationship. Towards the end that changed, and he wouldn’t compliment me as much. Before me he was dating a white girl (I’m Latina - so is he). He would say “white girls just want me for fun but not for anything serious”. He was very self conscious about his English. I would encourage him to practice with me and flat out refused. We would only speak Spanish. Not only that but I would notice he would compare me with white girls he would see in public. Such as asking me “why can’t you dress like that?”.

Last year, I found out he’s in a new relationship with a younger white girl. She’s gorgeous and it’s clear he loves her. (Has lasted with her more than me, and flaunts her on social media).

Sucks to know she was probably his type all along. And it irks me knowing he probably puts in effort with speaking English with her. How do I get past this feeling of comparison?

I’m shocked that after 20+ years no new 9/11 related information, stories, photos, or videos have come out. Specifically, of what took place at the airports that day. You really have to dig and read early articles/news to get an insight on that POV.

I’m curious to know if anyone was at those affected airports that fateful day - traveling or as a staff member? Perhaps stories from relatives, or friends who were there and remember interacting with the victims or the hijackers? If they heard…or saw a glimpse of something that stuck with them all these years?
