heyyyyy so basically i’m so happy because a few days ago i burnt everything my ex has ever given to me which reminds me of our relationship such as the letters, drawings, polaroids, etc. and honestly guys it was better therapy than anything in the whole world and when you’re ready i’d recommend it so much. breakups are so awful and difficult and if you’re reading this thinking you’ll never get through it i promise you with all of me you will. you’re just at the lowest stage right now but you’re getting through. everything gets better! and also everything happens for a reason and one day you’ll know why this happened. the pain is finally over, now is time to move onnn ughh finallyyy. cyaaa!!!

curious, did you feel relief right away or did it hit you slowly after the burn?
well basically the night before i wrote a really long final goodbye letter to my ex and when i burned that it was almost like i had loads of relief. i feel like it really helped me to know its over because i knew i had all the letters just in my room and i wanted to get rid of them so it was just the last step of my healing to be honest.
i’m glad you found something that actually helped. what usually works for me is doing one big symbolic thing like that, then keeping the rest simple so i don’t get overwhelmed again.
i did the same thing once, burned this whole box of letters and stupid little souvenirs from a guy who broke me. i swear watching it turn to ash felt like my chest could finally breathe again. that “finally over” feeling hits DIFFERENT. proud of you fr
yesss omg i couldn’t have explained that better it’s the best feeling ever
