At the end of every break up and from then on, the amount of time you spend on getting over each other is almost like a competition. If you're the lucky person to lose the attachment you've grown to the other first, you win. It's all centered on pride, it's all about whoever moves on faster and is seemingly content with the disintegration of the relationship. Seemingly content. You could be mutilated inside, beaten up, torn apart, in absolute anguish and terror, but just as long as you plaster that bright smile on your face, you're okay. Everything's fine.

Right?

Everybody tries so hard to appear strong in cases they shouldn't be. You're a human being, you don't deserve to be expected to put up a strong front when you're wounded. Take your time, take a breather. Take as much time as you need to move on. Rushing yourself and putting up a facade will lead to inconsistent results. Focus on the important things, such as yourself and ignore the things that are meant to be forgotten. Memories? They can always be recreated with somebody more special. Let the old memories gather up dust and decay. Let go.
