Moving on: accepting that we can never be again

I love my ex a lot. I will always love that woman because of what she was to me and how much I wanted to be better when I was with her. I know she doesn’t think or care about me anymore but that’s okay. She got with someone who she fell in love with and all I can do is be happy that she finally got what she thought she deserved. After our chapter finally ended, I realized that I had a lot of unhealed wounds. I took them out on the people I loved and myself. In the end, I’m choosing to ultimately forgive those who are not in my life and even myself. I also realized that I was neither a good/bad boyfriend. I was just a kid trying to receive and give the love that he never got. I was dealt with a bad hand and now I will be greater than anybody’s doubts they had about me. I won’t let my heartbreak be the end of my story nor will Intreat my ex like a villain. I’m human just like she is and we both deserve to make mistakes and choices. I am at the point in my grief where I can accept that she has moved on and that I can feel for myself that I am too. I hope one day I find a woman who truly wants me for all my strengths and flaws. Last thing I have to say is that I achieved a lot today. I deleted her info in my phone and laptop and I got rid of her stuff. I’m not yet ready to delete the few photos and videos I have after deleting the others but I’m almost there. She is no longer mine and she has connected with another guy so whatever we had is done. I can’t find it within myself to go backwards morally. If you are where I am reply to me, I love reading about everybody’s journey

i'm really proud of you for getting rid of her things. the day i finally deleted old messages, i cried the whole night, but it felt like i stopped waiting for a version of us that wasn't coming back.

i'm happy to read you're giving yourself some grace. ❤️ what do you think is the biggest change you've noticed in yourself since the breakup, the one you'd never want to lose now?
