Letting go is not easy. How can anyone let go of someone they loved dearly? 

Steve Maraboli  clarifies it beautifully;  “Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.”

Read this quote as many times as you need to, for it to sink in. Losing years over a breakup; is time you can never bring back.  So, get over your ex and move on to live your life and open up to new opportunities. Dwelling on a breakup for too long will not bring back a relationship that was not meant to be. Furthermore, it will stop you from starting possibly a great new relationship. 

Moving on from someone you loved and shared a chunk of your life together is not easy or pain free. The truth is they leave a lasting impression. They once mattered, but don’t delay the healing process through denial and empty wishes. 

Do yourself a favour and delete your ex from your phone and all your social media. Accept that it is over, wish them well and move on with your life. Sometimes two people are not meant to stay together, they have a phase where they learn and grow together and once that is over so is their relationship. 

Accept the end of the relationship and embrace the new beginning. Be brave to let go and brave to accept what is coming next on your journey. Maybe is a time to enjoy being single and get to know more about yourself. Maybe you will meet your soulmate.

Whatever is next, wipe the slate clean and let in life. Experience the joy, hope and excitement of the new chapter. When you are ready to move on, new things are there for you to experience.
