Break ups are hard, or at least they are made to feel like. But in reality, it is the best thing that could happen to you. Everything happens for a reason, and it’s happening for good. Here are things that I learnt after my ‘serious’ relationship ended:
- There is nothing called the Love of your life. There is only compatibility. You might have seen the spark in them when you initially started going out. If the spark wears off, you do not have to stay with him just because this was the person you fell for.
- Never stay in a relationship if your are unhappy. Do not convince yourself that the hard times will get over and it will all be back to normal as usual and put yourself in misery.
- You are most important person in your life. Do not put your happiness in someone else’s hands.
- Being alone could mean that you can do whatever you like. Catch the movie that you have been dying to watch or go to the diner that is in the end of town. You are not dependent on anyone’s decision or wishes anymore.
- Blaming someone is immature; you need to find solutions for your situations. If the solution is breaking up then you must.
- Never go back to your ex, there is a reason you broke up and that reason should be enough to keep you away. Also, being friends with your ex is a very bad decision and I guarantee you that it won’t end well.
- Never believe them when they say that the problem lies in you. You are perfect, and you will find the perfect one who will love you with all your shortcomings.
- If your friends have warmed you that your boyfriend isn’t good enough for you, then they were right. Everybody around you would have known what a fool you were except you, because you were too busy being blinded by love.
- There is no point in sulking over him when you can use that time to find the next best thing. You don’t have to be sad after break up. You can definitely celebrate the end of one.
- Never compromise on what matters. If being with him brought your down, shifted your focus from your life goals or simply ruined your day, this break was inevitable.
- Love can happen again. Once, twice or even more times. This is not the last.
