While they are easy to make happen, going through them and picking up the pieces is hard to do. Taking time to heal is the most important thing.

When my ex and I broke up, we worked together so I still had to see him every day. It took me SO MUCH LONGER to move on simply because I was around him all the time (and he was doing his best to make me pay attention to him). It’s tough.

*hugs* It’ll get better. Promise.

after i went thru a really rough breakup late last year, i read the book “It’s Called A Breakup Because It’s Broken”
\

\
best thing i ever did. i’d pass along my copy to you, but it’s highlight for future reference (which i hope i never have to read again)
\

\
it’ll get better. i promise.

I know what you mean, bud. I didn’t have the strength to take down the pictures one-by-one so I just threw them (in their frames) into a box and put it the attic somewhere.
\

\
I’m still not to the point where I can IM him without feeling weird pangs, but I know I’ll get there someday…and so will you.

*hugs*

For me, breaking up was harder than getting over it. I knew on April 29th (a year ago today) that things weren’t working. I tried to break up with him for weeks. We actually broke up on June 9th.
\

\
I had a new guy by June 20th.
\

\
So don’t rewrite the old song. Just write a new one to go with it.

“Breaking up is hard to do” flows a little more evenly than…say…”letting go emotionally and not being hung up on some dumb boy is hard to do”.

Just make sure you’ve got a good support system outside of your ex. Otherwise, you’ll find yourself running back to him when you’ve got nowhere else to go. (for instance.)

Of course its ok if you are not ok right now. Breaking up is hard, or as you so elequoently stated: its the letting go that’s hard. Our emotions are powerful things, we need time to heal after our hearts have been hurt. Time to grow into our new improved selves.

Aw Jen I really wish I had some amazing advice or something about break ups, but I’m pretty naive at it myself. I just hope that it eventually gets easier and you’re able to get yourself back to normal. Sending lots of hugs your way. xo
