Healing from love and by love ❤️‍🩹

I never thought the day would come but I noticed that I am starting to heal from a past relationship. I don’t feel as sorry for myself. I don’t feel as much regret. I’ve learnt to slowly accept what is and started to understand or accept the way things are now. I don’t hurt as much. I don’t linger as much on what if’s or hold onto the belief that we were meant for each other as much anymore. I think this belief was what really held me back from moving on all these years but I have started to accept and realise we weren’t all that perfect and compatible as I thought or wished we were. I don’t have as much resentment towards what happened. I feel my feelings are just mutual now. I don’t know if it was journaling and starting this account that has helped me heal or because I started seeing people, maybe both but I’m glad I’m starting to find myself again… for so long I’ve forgotten what it feels like to be happy again, to fall in love again, to believe in love again. It hasn’t been easy healing but just wanted to share this somewhere, to feel heard somewhere in the world and maybe to be of help to someone going through the same thing.
