You are strong enough to delete his number from your phone.
Delete his pictures from your camera roll.
Delete his texts and emails from your inbox.

You are strong enough to smile if you ever run into him.
You are strong enough to ignore the temptation to text him.
You are strong enough to admit that you two dont actually belong together.
That youre better off without him.
That its good things ended now, before they got even more serious, before you fell even harder.
You are strong enough to see the silver lining amongst the clouds.

You are strong enough to stay optimistic, even when it feels like your entire world is falling apart.
And you are strong enough to realize all of the crying youve been doing doesnt mean youre weak.
It doesnt mean youre a failure, that youre vulnerable and pathetic.
In fact, you should keep crying.
Keep listening to his favorite songs.
Keep cursing him out to your friends.
Keep writing nasty diary entries about how hes such an asshole.
Keep thinking about him until you find the strength to move on.
You are strong enough to experience loss and come out as a better person.
A person who appreciates their memories, but accepts that theyre a thing of the past.
You are strong enough to see that you deserve better.
You are strong enough to ignore the temptation to jump straight into a new relationship.
You are strong enough to wait for someone better to come along.
Someone who treats you right.
Someone who wont make the same mistakes your ex made.
You are strong enough to live without him.
You are strong enough to survive this heartache.
