Its getting up and going to the gym instead of laying in bed and crying.
It takes effort and emotions.
And really ugly feelings youve hid because you thought it was easier that way.

Its realizing the importance of feeling through everything and not keep it bottled up.
Its the really hard times at first and you physically dont think anything could hurt as much as this.
You talk about it to anyone who will listen because youre still trying to understand.

Its making a healthy meal when you arent even hungry and you have to force yourself to eat.
Its admitting you dont even know what you want right now and maybe a relationship isnt the best solution.
To really heal means making the choice to just get through one day then two.
But then you wake up one day and they arent your first thought.
Healing is understand why the relationship ended the way it did.
And youre not bitter about it.
Its not blaming yourself even if you were the one who was dumped.
Healing is looking back at a person and they dont hurt anymore.
Looking back at the memories you do have and being grateful and not angry.
Its forgiving them for hurting you even if they didnt say sorry.
Its forgiving yourself for allowing them to affect you as much as they have.
Its moving on with your life and not having ill feelings towards them.
Its running into them and it doesnt ruin your day.
Its hearing they moved on and it doesnt hurt because you are happy for them.
And you really do hope the best for them.
Healing is when jealousy isnt a factor.
Healing isbeginning to date againand not looking for them in others.
Not wishing the person in front of you was someone else.
Its taking their best qualities and using that as a standard for future relationships.
Its a bunch of tears youre embarrassed to cry.
Its thinking youre weak for feeling things so heavy.
Getting over relationships is even uglier.
And trying again takes bravery.
But one day you meet someone and you realize this is exactly why your relationship ended.
