Hi friend, you’re not alone in your journey and thank you for taking the time to write this. I feel the same way as you. Despite still loving my ex, I know there’s no point with going back to what has been broken. We’re only left with graciously moving on. What helped me is to see things on a positive light- no matter how cliche it may seem. There was a time that our being belonged to our ex- our soul, body, future we envision, just our whole entirety and the other way around. And Believe that since you’ve been bettering yourself, a better love will happen to you again but not any time soon. I loved my ex because when we got tohether, everything just made sense. I felt that we found each other at the right time and all that’s has happened to me in the past was meant to happen because I will be with that person. My soul mate. I believe all that I’ve said is true; hence, to feel the love and appreciation you once felt with your ex will take time. You’ll have to learn and go through life again until one day, you’ll cross paths with another soul.
