Why does it feel weird to forget my past relationship?

Author

it feels weird to forget everything we had because at some time he was my everything. I don’t want to forget everything because he meant so much to me and we experienced many good and bad things it feels weird to forget this all.But I think I need to forget everything to move on even if I don’t want to.

move on was giving myself permission to stop forcing myself to forget. the more i tried to scrub him from my brain, the more stressed out i got, but just letting the memories drift in and out without fighting them made everything feel way lighter.

i spent months terrified that letting go meant erasing our whole history, like if i stopped replaying those moments, the love we had wasn't real. but forgetting every single detail isn't actually what happens. the memories stay, they just stop burning so bad after a while.

is there a specific memory or piece of your routine together that feels the hardest to let slip away right now?

you dont have to forget anything, you just have to allow space in your mind for new things
