i wonder what you’re holding onto most, him actually coming back or the feeling that everything you went through together still has a chance to mean something?
Kill the hope and assumption of him coming back
it’ll save your heart any more pain coz waiting, leads to more disappointment each time coz you spend the time waiting for him to change his mind and come back and your heart bleeds with each passing day
what helped me was acting like he wasn’t coming back, even when a tiny part of me still hoped he would. i stopped making choices around that possibility, and slowly my life started feeling like mine again.
checking my phone and quietly building little stories about how my ex would come back. the waiting became its own kind of heartbreak, because every quiet day felt like another disappointment

THIS. Exactly
Distract yourself, do something that makes you happy, just take each day as it comes, instead of thinking too far ahead.
remember all the bad things he did and how he doesn't care while you still thinking about him
