The Hard Part Of Moving On

There’s always gonna be a mountain you have to climb, but never give up because there’s a great view at the top.

The Hard Part Of Moving On

They say when you love something you have to let it go and in reality that’s one of the hardest things to do when you love someone. How are you suppose to sit back and watch the person you loved so much start to love someone new? They always say if it’s meant to be it will happen and that things will work out in the end but it’s the waiting game that is always the worst. Whether you know you could do better or you know that it’s time to move on, the thought of what if stays in the back of your mind.

You will have your bad days where memories flood your mind, the good ones, and the bad ones. Some of the memories so real you feel like you are right back in that moment and you have to snap back to the reality that they are no longer in your life. You’ll have random days where something hits you and you feel like crying again even though it’s been months since things ended.

You’ll wonder if they even really loved you like they said they did, because while you are still trying to convince yourself that it’s time to move on while they have already started to. You would think knowing they are already moving on would make it easier but in reality it doesn’t it just brings more questions into your mind. Why wasn’t I good enough? Why couldn’t we work it out? Why is it so easy for them to move on? You will have your "why can’t I move on" moments. You may even try to go on a few dates with new people, but somehow every time you just don’t get that little spark you want, the one you had with the person you were head over heels for.

You find yourself comparing everyone to them, you find yourself wondering if things could eventually work out and if you should just wait it out because good things take time right? Not everything about a break up has to be bad though, although you will have some days that are rough, it’s also a good time to take care of yourself. Learn things that make you happy, go out to eat by yourself, go adventure somewhere or even go shopping alone. Learn to live your life for you and create your own happiness.

Once you are content with your life and doing things on your own let everything else fall into place on its own. In the end things might not turn out the way you wanted, things might not work out with that person but that just means something better is out there for you, you go through everything in life for a reason and that failed relationship was just a stepping stone on your way to a life you’ve always dreamed of.

Hold your head high and learn to love yourself and always remember something good will come out of the struggles that you face. There’s always gonna be a mountain you have to climb, but never give up because there’s a great view at the top.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
