Breakups

Sometimes things just don't work out. Relationships fail, and breakups happen.

Nothing is permanent in this world except for change.


It's never easy. And it hurts. It hurts like hell.
And people, maybe even yourself, will tell you things such as: move on, forget him, he doesn't deserve you, you deserve someone better, and so on. Things that are easier said than done.
Sometimes, we want to "move on" so badly that we unconsciously dwell on the bad things, the negative feelings to the point that we start to hate our "ex".


Cry. Cry it all out.
There's no point in hiding it because sooner or later you will have to face the sad reality that you're no longer together.
Cry. And then sleep. By the next day, things will be better. Maybe not completely, but you will at least feel a bit lighter.

You don't have to hate. Of course you will be sad and/or mad about breaking up, but that doesn't mean you have to hate the person. Instead, be thankful. Be thankful that he came into your life and for that moment he was one, maybe most, of the reasons that the world seemed brighter. Think of the happiness he brought you and how you also did the same for him. Sure, it will take time before the two of you get adjusted to your new status as friends, but who says you can't be friends?

Things happen. And sometimes, they're beyond our control. Accepting them is not easy but, life goes on.


I don't refer to it as moving on. I'd rather call it moving forward, because somehow that person that just left has become part of who you are.
