Forgetting about what happened doesnt erase what happened.
It doesnt magically get rid your baggage, your insecurities, your deepest darkest fears.
Unfortunately, theeasiestthing to do and therightthing to do rarely overlap.
Pawel Szvmanski
You have to talk about what happened.
Most importantly, you have toacceptwhat happened instead ofrunningfrom what happened.
It makes sense for you to block out the awful memories from your toxic relationship.
However, the best way to move on isnt actually to forget.
Whether you like it or not, your past experiences have shaped you into the person you are today.
You cannot pretend all of the weeks, months, and years you spent alongside them never occurred.
For a while, yes, you might be able to get by pretending your ex never existed.
If you want to heal, you cannot act like what you went through is no big deal.
You cannot minimize the pain you experienced.
You have to give yourself permission to admit youve been through something traumatic.
You have to put effort into healing.
You have to go to therapy.
You have to sort through your emotions.
You have to decide to put your mental health first.
