How to deal with a bad breakup?

Time is a big healer. The feelings may never fade away completely, but it surely will reduce to an extent where you can let someone else take that place, in future.

When boyfriend broke up, all he said was – ‘Lets be really good friends‘.

As time passed, realization struck that, it was not a statement he wanted to stick by. The distance crept in, conversations ceased to happen, tears dried and it all just went downhill from there. Years of memories that were once shared did not matter anymore. We were now, two strangers leading lives of our own, walking different paths.

We had stopped speaking. The feelings slowly started reducing.

New people walked in, new friends were made. The memories started blurring. Though the mind kept replaying the glimpses of the million beautiful moments of the past. Though the heart ached for the feeling of being loved again. Things had changed and life was going to be different from now on. This was a fact that could not be denied or overseen.

Things don’t always work the way we want them to. We absolutely have no control over some situations. But we do have the control over how we feel when we face certain problems. Why not take it positively and move ahead in life?

What if they were not our true love? What if there is someone else we are meant to be with? What if things happened for the good?

Broken hearts are capable of healing themselves with time. People who have walked away, will also stop mattering after a while.

As they say –

“Sometimes it takes a heartbreak to shake us awake & help us see we are worth so much more than we’re settling for.” 
― Mandy Hale

Believe that you deserve the best and that the best is yet to come. Keep moving ahead without looking back. Find things you love to do. Keep yourself busy. Learn to live for yourself. Love may strike again when you least expect it. Just stay positive and hopeful of the fact that its going to be all sunshine and rainbows here on.
