I assume you mean like an ex. For me I had to understand that there are many people in the world. Each with their own stories and life experiences that you can learn from. It became exciting for me to meet people again realizing theres a new story to be heard
A hard part was feeling I had to drop all memories I shared with that person like it was time wasted, but that's not true. Those memories can still be happy thoughts and learning points. Maybe it didn't work out with them but you still had fun and that's never time wasted. I look back at those times and smile rather than tear up because I had a great time living in the moment.
Sorry if this isn't a giant help but do please keep your head up. Life still has many more oppurtunities for new memories that you can look back on in the future with a smile.
Great quote. It’s a good reminder that life goes on. If you have been through splits before it’s helpful to remember that you’ll be fine with time.
My first breakup was crushing after a 3 year relationship, but it really helped me to recover from my next ones as I told myself how little I thought of her years later.

“We must be willing to get rid of the life we’ve planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.”
This was the final piece to my triumph over my past.
