“You love each other with the reckless abandon of people that have never been hurt before.” That line. 😭💛 What an honor to discover the love we only find in loss.
I would say it takes time to be fully releasing the past into the mist. And it's hard to forget but it's easy to let go as time goes by. But do not let your heart turn bitter because of how you have been treated.
I havent read the letter yet but im 20 and its been 6 months since i broke up with my ex. She was my first love and it was intense. I found myself reliving old memories as if we were still together which was only perpetuating this state of heartbreak and unease.
My conclusion is that you can get over them if you want to.
If you haven’t or don’t, then that is a choice you are making.
Sometimes feeling bad feels good because we feel its all we have left of that person.
The truth is they aren’t yours and they can do whatever they please, so this is your time to rebuild or better yet reinvent yourself outside of that relationship.
wonderful work!!! i've liked the same guy for a couple years on and off now and we just put an end to the romantic aspect of our relationship at the start of the new year. i have no clue how long it'll take me to get over him but praying it doesn't deter me from finding love in others around me
I just had my first break up literally last night, t wasn’t messy just very sad I guess. I literally cried reading this but it was the reassurance I needed. Thank you.

That last paragraph. Unreal. Thank you ❤️
Teared up a little…. What a blessing it is to know love

Strange but true….new love takes the place of old and over time you’re left with a lot more warm and fuzzy and a lot less heart break

That’s my very fresh 2 cents.
It's taking me double the time instead of half
