When you break up with someone, you aren’t breaking one big habit.
You are breaking a million little habits.
Its natural to miss them.
Helena Lopes
You are going to see commercials and hear songs and smell cologne that reminds you of them.
You are going to come up with inside jokes to text them.
Dont feel bad about how long its taking you to move on from an old love.
Healing isnt going to happen overnight.
The person you dated was more than a partner.
They were more than someone you kissed on the forehead and cuddled with as you fell asleep each night.
They were more than a warm body, more than a pair of lips.
They were your best friend.
They were always there for you.
You relied on them more than anyone.
They knew you better than anyone.
When you break up with someone, you arent breaking one big habit.
You are breaking a million little habits.
You have to break the habit of spending weekends togethers.
You have to break the habit of watching your favorite shows together.
You have to completely overturn the life you have created, the life you never planned on abandoning.
Everything around you holds a memory of them.
The mattress where you would sleep.
The couch where you would watchGame Of Thrones.
The meal you cooked that they considered their favorite.
The necklace you wore that they didnt even buy you, but they always complimented you on.
Its not going to be easy to forget about your person and maybe you donthaveto forget about your person.
Maybe you might grow to appreciate the time you spent together without wishing you were back together.
Until then, dont be hard on yourself for how long its taking you to move on.
