“It takes time” and “time is your friend” are common sayings we come across our lifetime. Love & relationships are something that come and go, and when they don’t work out, it’s that sense of loss and grief that takes over. I think it doesn’t really matter how long something has been, it’s the feelings themselves and those fond memories that are the hardest to come to terms with.

The first step to moving on from a failed love is to acknowledge and accept the end of the relationship. This can be a difficult process, as it involves coming to terms with the loss of someone who was once a significant part of your life. It’s important to allow yourself to feel your emotions during this time, whether that involves sadness, anger, or disappointment. Remember that it’s okay to feel these emotions, and that they are a natural part of the healing process.

I say this often- taking care of yourself mentally and PHYSICALLY is the most important things to do in life. When I think back to my early stages of heartbreak, I was going on really long walks no matter the weather. Sometimes I’d cry like the movies in the rain, sometimes I’d just keep walking until I was exhausted. But getting that fresh air and exercise did me good. I really advise that getting outside of those four walls and exploring nature will do wonders for relaxing and freeing your mind. Like, who doesn’t want to see cute fluffy dogs too?

It’s important to remember that everyone heals at their own pace, and there’s no “right” way to move on from a failed love. Some people find it helpful to focus on self-improvement or to take up new hobbies or interests, while others may find solace in talking to a therapist or counselor. Whatever your path to healing looks like, it’s important to take things one day at a time and be gentle with yourself as you navigate this difficult time.

I pressured myself to get over someone I loved very deeply in a matter of months, distracting myself, taking up unhealthy habits to get by for the day or try to convince my mind that “I’m fine”. It’s okay to feel scared, lost, lonely and generally depressed. There’s no time limit to how you can deal with such pain. And you shouldn’t force yourself to set one either. So please use this time to love yourself ♥️
