I’m Struggling To Move On From My Ex
deleting the memories hurt the most
I don’t think people talk about this part of break up enough and I feel like it's something we should address in this post.
My emotions are all over the place as I write this — but please stay with me.
I am speaking from the perspective of someone who has been through a 3-year relationship. For the most part, it was enjoyable it was good.
Love is such a beautiful thing when you find someone who sees you, makes sacrifices for you, invests in you, and makes their world revolve around you, and yours is about them.
That’s a special thing to experience at least once before you exit this world. And anyone who has captured that should hold on to it for as long as they can.
Love is very beautiful but when it’s just about to end, it’s the most miserable experience you can ever have. The post-relationship trauma slowly hits. You start to feel empty because the person who was beside you no longer seems to exist. They’re not dead, but they disappeared. That feeling is so frustrating and so overwhelming at the same time.
Somedays I’ve questioned what’s the point of living. Because I dedicated my life to this one person and then it’s like investing in some multi-level marketing scheme then finding out your money has been swiped by the founders.
It’s worse if you both captured a ton of memories in that time in the form of pictures — letting go is even harder.
And that’s the part people don’t talk about: deleting the memories
I never knew one day she’d become just another memory or even worse me writing this post as the tears drop down my face.
love is like a baby walker but the moment it’s removed – it’s like learning to walk all over again.
