I think when you miss someone it just proves that they did matter at one time or another.
Its okay to look back at your instagram to a time when they were in the pictures.
As well as a main character in your life.

Its okay to want to text them like you used to.
Its okay to post something hoping maybe they see.
Its okay to dwell in the past sometimes of someone you thought would be in your future.

Its okay to miss the good parts, even though there was some bad.
Its even okay tobreak down sometimes.Its okay that you still feel something when you hear their name.
Its even okay you still think of them sometimes when youre with someone else.
Its okay to even compare them sometimes.
Because we all do that.
It doesnt mean your feeling for the person now mean anything less.
It doesnt mean you arent over it because we all have our moments when we arent sometimes.
But healing is a process.
And it can happen at the same time youre falling for someone new.
It doesnt mean you have to avoid them when you see them out because it hurts.
It doesnt mean you have to lie when your boyfriend asks who he is.
Be honest with yourself about how you do feel.
Feel through the parts of missing them.
Even if its uncomfortable.
Its okay to miss someone and keep moving on with your life.
Missing someone is just a part of the healing process.
And sometimes it never goes away entirely.
But it isnt your job to feel guilty about feelings you cant control.
What is in your control is how you let it affect you and every relationship.
If you let this the standard no one else can compete with, everyone who tries will fall short.
Because youre building them up to a place they dont even deserve to be.
you could miss someone without completely self destructing while doing so.
Maybe they were only meant to be characters in passing.
Maybe they were meant to teach you something.
Maybe they were there to teach you about love that comes and goes.
