I hold onto his memories, especially his messages, as a way to have proof of our time together. However, I find that they still linger on my social media, and it feels strange when they pop up in my chat box while I’m scrolling. I end up re-reading them. Is it wrong for me to keep these messages, pictures, or other reminders? My main question is: if I want to erase someone from my life, how do I go about it when I still have all these reminders?

I got rid of everything, even the jewelry, because holding onto those things only brings pain. Seeing them and recalling the memories just deepens the hurt.
I haven’t heard from her in three years. Three months after we broke up, she found someone new. She was my first, and we spent a year together doing almost everything. I wonder if she ever thinks about me at all anymore.
You can’t completely, especially if they played a significant role in your life. However, with time, your feelings about them will shift. Just try not to keep revisiting those memories.
From Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, I realized that completely erasing someone isn't what you truly desire.
I deleted every photo and put away the few mementos I had, but he still lingers in my thoughts.
I hold onto my photos because they represent my memories and my history.
I believe we often approach it the wrong way by asking how to forget someone. I still remember my first and second girlfriends, and that was over 14 years ago. Instead of trying to forget, the aim should be to reach a point where you feel you can move forward. In other words, you shouldn’t allow your past relationships to prevent you from finding happiness.
I spoke with my relatives about how I’m feeling. They mentioned that while I may never fully forget her, the pain will lessen over time, turning into a bittersweet memory instead. I’m not at that point yet, but I’m hopeful that we’ll both reach it soon.
2 years and I’m still pinning for them 😭💔
