Why i finally let go and started healing

Author

My ex has a rebound girl. at first that really really fucked me up, not even a full 2 months we've been apart and he's already posting pictures of himself arms around another girl in her bed.

but then I realised, he's rebounding and it won't last, and frankly I don't care anymore.

i deleted every last photo I had of him from my camera roll, went on Facebook, the only place he hadn't blocked me and sent a message "you missed one, you should remove your engagement status from here and also maybe get rid of your insta highlight that's dedicated to me, fuck you" and then I blocked him.

he isn't controlling me anymore, I fear I will still cry over him again in the future but even my dreams are shutting him out.

I went on a date, and the difference between my ex's rebound and me going out is I actually spent time grieving. i didn't go out every night since the break up drinking and partying.

I grieved, I felt the break up, I looked inwars at what I need to fix, and now I'm also choosing not to blame myself for the whole relationship breakdown.

I am planning to, and already have started to, put in the work to improve myself, and plan to take things incredibly slow with anyone I see interest in.

but yea, feeling pretty proud of myself, feeling happier, got lots planned and don't feel so world ending anymore.

seeing him with someone new that soon would’ve wrecked me too, especially with the engagement status still up. i remember when i finally stopped checking my ex’s socials, it felt like i was getting little pieces of MYSELF back. so glad you’re feeling lighter

i love that you let yourself grieve instead of trying to drown it out every night. i rushed into things after my breakup and ended up carrying the same hurt into something new, so taking it slow and choosing yourself first is HUGE.

i’m so happy you’re starting to feel like your life belongs to you again. when you think about the future now, does it feel exciting in a way it couldn’t just a few weeks ago
