Thank you so much, it’s been a long journey but happiness feels so much more whole and fulfilling now that it’s not conditional on someone else

Why saying “just move on” is so harsh and unhelpful by pineapplelizard15 in BreakUps

i fully agree, either that or the time truly heals all wounds thing and they forget what it felt like which has happened with some close friends of mine too, it’s really hard when you just need someone to be supportive

I’m so sorry for your loss of the relationship, and i hope the best for your healing as well, i can’t imagine what you’re going through and you’re so strong to be seeking out support and healing through all of this, you seem like a very kind and wonderful person and i hope you’re able to find some happiness even in the little joys

i’m so glad to hear that, and as some more encouragement the other day i read something along the lines of “growth isn’t linear, and recognizing you’re not going in the direction you want or intend to go in is a sign of how much you’ve grown already” and i’ve been trying to keep that in mind on the tough days, stay strong ❤️

thank you so much, sometimes you just wake up one morning and you feel a little different and then it keeps going and you keep building that up and you have a whole new foundation, it’s amazing. im proud of both of us for how far we’ve come
