I think that moving on is a decision

you’re trying to treat it like logic, like once you say “it’s over” then the sadness should stop. i’ve seen people do that, but feelings don’t usually move on the same schedule as the mind.

i used to repeat the same thing, trying to convince myself it was done. some days it worked, some days i cried anyway. it’s not easy to control thoughts when the heart still cares.

i told myself that too, that it was over so i shouldn’t feel sad. but my head kept replaying stuff anyway. it pissed me off that i couldn’t just switch it off like a button.
