Moving On VS Letting Go
Is there really a difference between moving on or simply just letting go? What do you think, can there be such a thing as “feeling” both?
Break ups are never easy, no matter if you dated for a couple months or years, if you truly loved a person the feeling of losing them is not only emotionally draining it is physically exhausting. Yes the “pain” you feel is actually receptors in your brain that are rewiring themselves to adapt to your new reality.
Speaking from my last experience of heartache, I don’t think you are able to have one with out the other. You must be willing to let go in order to move on.
It is always easier said than done but you have to be willing to let go of the life that you wanted for the life you have, which doesn’t involve them. Sometimes it is hard to see it in the beginning, but there is a reason why your relationship ended. You have to remember why and although it is tough, remain strong, trying to be friends first never works out. It is too fresh, the possibility of what if is to strong and can cloud your mind and ends up hurting your heart more in the long run.
Trying to hold on to the life you had, places you went and friends you shared might seem like the only way of connection you have to your past “relationship” but know that giving yourself space to heal is the best options. It is already tough enough having “everything” remind you of them why put yourself through more.
Even though you might not want to hear this friends do get into the middle of it. Whether they think they are choosing sides or not, inevitably it happens, they choose. Their actions will speak louder than their words. Don’t let this get you down either, sometimes it is easier just to have a clean break and revisit the friendships later.
Now, where does that leave you, alone? Not exactly, even though it feels like your world has come crushing down, the rubble surrounding you actually symbolizes your chance to build a new one! Clean up the devastation, roll up your sleeves and remember you can’t build a new house with the same crumbling bricks & broken foundation from the previous home. It is your time to build the life you want, letting go of the past allows your to move on to your future.
Do you agree?! We want to hear how you feel about it, is there really a difference between moving on or simply just letting go?
