I have a question.......

If someone was on your mind and this person isn’t a part of your life currently and they can never be a part of your life, would you tell yourself bad things about them so they don’t appear nice or how would you go about removing them from your mind? What are coping mechanisms that you use to focus on the things you should be focusing on and not wonder about what could have been?

with my ex bestie i built them up real bad in my head at the end and when it was over. i felt completely betrayed and i could only replay the last year and a half of our friendship. i felt very hurt and i had never been so angry

anger is important but it is not healing. im glad i was able to let it go. i hope shes doing better and is happy now and has the family she's always wanted 🩷 i understand why she's not in my life anymore but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy the silly memories

"it was a privilege to love you and it was a privilege to let you go (both helped shape the person i am today)"
