We love hard so we fall hard. We dedicate all our love to someone who was thought to be the one. But it turns out everything just doesn’t happen as we wish. When this happens, most people still find it hard letting go of their past relationship due to some unexplained reasons.
However, your world is not limited to only one person. You have your friends, family, and perhaps someone who is going to be madly in love with you. They deserve your love.
In that case, here are some stages that anyone in need of letting go of a past relationship should follow;
Stage 1: It is like the end of the world
It is the craziest part. Every morning, what you do the most often is scrolling your Facebook news feed to see how his/her new life is. You may think you’re just like a drug addict and he/she is the drug you can never quit.
What you can do to stop yourself from indulging in the obsession: Stay away from social media, avoid any contact with your ex, stop wandering in the places you two visited before, and spend more time with your family and friends to distract your mind.
Stage 2: Keep yourself in the spinning wheel
After some time, you tell yourself you can’t be like that anymore. You go into another extreme to force yourself to be strong.
You keep convincing yourself life is still fine without him/her. That’s why your schedule is fully packed every day. Work, meeting your friends, helping your family to fix their every issue.
When your loved ones ask how you feel, you put on a big smile and tell them your life goes better.
Stage 3: Some pages turned and there were lessons learned
Lastly, everything is getting better. Although sometimes the old good days still sneak into your mind, you begin to accept what is good about this.
You become more thankful for everything he did to you. You become more grateful for everything around you now.
A lesson is learned and whatever is going to happen will be exceptionally awesome.
All you need to do now is to do things differently.
