I got blocked on IG by the one ex that got away

I never messaged her, never watched nor liked any of her stuff. I just searched her name to see her profile pic once in awhile. I hate that I still care...but at the same time, I feel like I needed this to completely close the door on this lie that I will never find a connection like i had with her with someone else. I have to start truly focusing on the next woman that comes into my life. It wasn't fair to the women I kept meeting and comparing them to how someone used to be.

That hits pretty close to home.

Yeah bro. It's for the best. Sometimes it isn't easy to completely move on but the correct and healthiest choices aren't always easy.

to completely close the door on this lie that I will never find connection I had with her to someone else

That's the stuff right there. You're right. It is a lie. Life is full of opportunity. You can find that kind of connection again and I hope you do.

@SaorUladh thank you, man. Much appreciated, it's true. We hold on to how someone used to be and not who they are in the present time. Life is full of opportunities that I kept closing because of these false hopes. I have met amazing women but I realized I pushed them away because of this. I'm sure the next women I find will be happy I can just focus on her.

@empanadas
It's funny how we act sometimes. Like we can't see what's in front of us because we're fixating on something from the past or the future, or maybe even an idealised image of someone we know or knew.

But still, as I always say, at least you've reached this point now. You've learned from this and you can move forward and do better
