I remember people telling me that “Everything always ends badly, otherwise it wouldn’t end.” I have to say that in my experience I found that that isn’t the truth. I’ve heard the saying “Some people are in your life for a day, season, or lifetime.” I’ve had a mix of all three. I’m sure that it’ll get better, but it’s the now we have to deal with. That isn’t always easy.
Fortunately, throughout all of my experience I have had the comfort of writing it all down. How someone makes me feel, how a relationship ends, how I feel when I have to part ways. That way, when things tend to change in my head from how they actually were, I can compare notes with myself.
The thing is, that everyone encounters people in our lives that we all learn from. There’s something in everyone that teaches us something about ourselves. The lessons that we learn from them is something that stays with us forever. We have to remember that they take with them what they learn from us as well. We have to respect that everyone is on their own path.
Whether you want to call it a relationship or not, there’s always a level of emotion.
The one thing I repeat to myself after surviving my last and greatest relationship is “You never stop loving somebody, you only learn to live without them.”
Since you cannot love two people in the same way, it’s impossible to say that it gets easier with time. The only way to help stop thinking about it is to busy yourself. Explore you, write down your hobbies, those things that you’d like to do, and keep reading these blogs! Tiny Buddha really does help!
Keep your head up, it will allow you to see in front of you when moving forward.
Don’t hope to feel better or wish to get over something. Have faith in yourself that this too makes you better.
