Day 23

Author

I've gone through massive waves post breakup. I've been counting the seconds, hoping the 30 days will magically bring peace, closure and forgetting about all the pain. But the true is that time allowed for self-reflection and I'm at the point where I value myself more than 23 days ago. Back then I just wanted to go back to that familiar feeling, the 'love', the relationship that was not perfect, but I tolerated, the ignoring red flags ... now I know better.
We are both great people but we were not great together.
I know the 30 days won't make me forget, but it has helped me stay grounded to myself. I am the one staying with me. He can go and sort his life out ...
There is no space for him in my life anymore. Yes, I hated him at some point. How dared he hurt me! How dared he break me apart! BUT this breakup has brought up a stronger version of me ... wiser, more experienced ... No more tolerance to BS! I am worth something better! Someone better.

what was the moment for you where it clicked, like “yeah… i’m done tolerating this”?

what you’re saying is so real. the peace doesn’t magically show up, it kinda builds slowly when you start choosing yourself. just keep doing that. that’s the part that actually sticks.

hitting that point too where i stopped chasing “what we had” and finally saw all the red flags i kept cuddling with. it’s wild how the pain kinda forces you to grow a backbone you didn’t know you had. i’m really proud of you for getting to this version of yourself
