He broke your heart.
Your disappointment took your breath away.
You felt hopeless and alone.

He was as equally incredible as he was terrible.
When I was in his presence, I felt excitement.
But if Im being honest, it was always up and down.

I cared about him a whole lot, perhaps too much.
I cared about his happiness, more than my own.
I wanted to protect him, more than I protected myself.
Inevitably he hurt me.
I stuck around, my attachment grew, and I was left heartbroken.
I dont blame him; our timing was off from the start.
He had his shit and I had mine too.
Guys will always come back, even if it isnt serious.
They all come back.
They all reach out again.But that doesnt mean you should be so quick to let them back in.
Sure, initially youll get excited.
Maybe youll start thinking about how much you really miss this person.
Reminiscing on memories can take all your energy, leaving you now longing for attention from this person.
Before you know it, you forget how they treated you prior.
The pain, the disappointment.
Youre in control with what you choose to do next.
You dont have to let them hurt you again.
You dont need to be argumentative.
Some people are meant to enter and exit our lives.
There is a lesson in each experience.
In each experience there are moments, that shape us into who are as people.
We hurt people, we all hurt people.
So, let your past remain your past, and look forward:
1.
Travel outside of the country.
Live in a new city.
Make out with a stranger.
Take a painting class.
Dance like a maniac in front of the mirror.
Walk around a museum.
Create an original recipe.
He broke your heart.
Your disappointment took your breath away.
You felt hopeless and alone.
You blamed yourself and wondered if there was anything you couldnt have done differently.
Forgive him and move on.But dont let him hurt you again.
