13 Truth To Let Go Of Someone You Never Thought Would Say Goodbye
I know that feelings and know how hurt it is, to see you say goodbye to
someone you never thought you would say goodbye to. Life at times, does not actually give what we expect. Every situation always has a better side of it.
When something goes wrong today, it does not mean tomorrow will not
be better. Trying to cope after saying goodbye is not an easy task, I
must admit this. You have already said goodbye and so what next. How do
you come back to the person you were supposed to be? How do you cope?
Just continue reading to get to know exactly the tips you need to
actually cope.
Life is not a fairytale—it plays funny games in unfortunate ways. At
some point in time. Be it your forever person, your mentor, your best
friend or even the love of your life—goodbyes suck big time!
Some people enter into a relationship for a defined period, but when
they have to part ways, it leaves years of pain behind. Letting go of
your soul mate is extremely painful.
It’s not just about a person, but about all those memories and future
planning that turns into impossibility. It’s because of the beautiful
times spent together, crazy fights, understanding each other and even
supporting in the time of need.
All of it makes it almost the hardest thing on earth to leave someone. To bid them goodbye!
The one who meant the world to you, who changed your life, who taught
you how to live, the one who was always there for you and without whom
you could never imagine your life—is going to leave your life for good?
Even the thought of it is scary!
2: Meeting new people
Meeting new people help you find different ways to feel better or even
get the old you back. Give your soul another chance to be loved. It’s
not necessary that you have to fall in love the way you did before, but a
little step towards affection could help you go a long way—maybe even
satisfy you enough!
People usually meet, and within a week they’re together in a
relationship. Such kind of relationships doesn’t really work out.
Therefore, this time you should be careful and make sure you go slowly
to make the journey last longer.
3: Make sure you know why you had to say goodbye
Its human nature to recall beautiful memories of the past and wonder why
you had to let someone go in the first place. All those good memories
make you miss them, and you wish to go back to them. Not a good idea!
Instead of missing them, you must remember some bad memories to help
you forget them and not think about them as an ideal. No one says you
have to hate them to move on, but reminding yourself time after time why
you had to say goodbye will help you to feel much better.
4: Be clear about why you should remain apart
At some point in time, you may feel that it was a wrong decision made
and you guys were perfect enough to be together. But you should know the
reason you both broke up in the first place and why you shouldn’t get
back together. These questions will help you a lot in staying focused
and not getting distracted.
Sure it’s tough to control your emotions when you have the
opportunity to go back. Keeping them aside, you must clear your mind
about why you need to let go and move on. If you do not make your
intentions clear to yourself, it is likely that you end up doing
something which you shouldn’t have. So be sure about it!
5: Take time to picture your ideal person and then point out flaws in your ex
We all wish to marry the man or woman of our dreams, but wait! Have we
even defined how our ideal should be? Without knowing what qualities you
desire in your future partner, how can you decide if he or she is
suitable for you or not?
All these matters are important to help you find the right person. No
one is perfect neither we expect them to be. What you can do is make a
list of the top most priorities you see in your partner—the most
important characteristics. Of course, not everyone is lucky enough to
find their partner exactly the way they define the criteria. Nothing to
worry about.
This outline will help you in comparing the qualities of your ex and
the one you are expecting to share your future with. It might turn out
to be even better than your expectations. You never know!
6: True love is the right one
Until and unless you don’t meet new people or develop pure feelings for
the right person, you keep on believing that you lost your true love. As
soon as you find your true love, it plays a major role in helping you
move on.
Not that you forget your ex, but it will make you realize what pure
love feels like. It may even go far enough to make your old love
diminish gradually. It’s just that you will not be craving for that
person anymore. Even if they cross your mind, you’ll remember them as a
part of your life but won’t get shattered all over again.
7: Be yourself
In search of your true love, somewhere down the line, you forgot yourself!
You changed as a person and the way you viewed life. Love destroys
the sense of selfishness. One becomes completely selfless and devoted to
their love. However, when they have to leave them, it hits them so hard
that they change as a person.
Therefore, try to find out the old empowered single self of yours. You have got another chance to be yourself again!
8: Forgive before forget
If you don’t forgive someone, do you think forgetting is possible
without having to forgive them? It’s not the case! Rather it’s the first
step towards forgetting someone. If you don’t forgive someone, you are
not forgiving yourself.
This way we stay involved in thinking of ways how to ignore them or
delay forgiveness. Trust me or not, the happiest person is the one who
forgives. It helps you the most in forgetting that person.
9: Remove all evidence
Even if you pretend that you have moved on, deep inside you haven’t. The
hardest stage of this test is when you have to delete all the chats,
images, or even throw away gifts. That’s nearly impossible. Whenever you
want to do so, it feels like something is stopping you and you end up
not deleting their memories.
10: Small acts of acceptance
If you succeed in deleting all those romantic emails and messages, you
deserve to treat yourself! Go out with your friends or get a spa
treatment. It will help you in normalizing the after effect of doing so.
11: Replace emotional thoughts with facts
Whenever your mind comes across the thought that you won’t even be loved
again or something discouraging of that sort, simply swap it. Replace
that thought with a factual thought. Be it about your new accomplishment
or some task undone.
12: Love yourself first
Try to place a sticky note wherever possible that says, “Loving yourself
means letting go”. What it does is, whenever you felt low on life,
simply revise the lesson that you can’t love someone until you love
yourself. Therefore, learn to love yourself first and then expect
someone to love you.
13: Have a positive approach
Even if things seem impossible, thinking it in a positive way makes them
work out. Just a positive thought and you wouldn’t regret this approach
of yours. You must stand out in a crowd!
