Moving On

Moving on is not that hard. You only need to have the right mindset. Yes, I could say that I have moved on. But at times, I would still think about that person. It's inevitable to forget everything. I know that, and I never even tried to. Moving on, to me, doesn't necessarily mean deleting every single photo you have with them, every text message, burning the love letters, the stuff they gave you. Moving on is not merely forgetting. It's more to accepting the fact that you are no longer together. Don't listen to sappy love songs that gives you the sense of longing for the person you want to move on from. Instead, listen to songs that motivate you and makes you feel like you are better off without them. You need to remind yourself why you no longer need them in your life. You don't have to dwell over these things every now and then though once in a while you may want to reminisce. Go ahead, it's okay. But don't go wishing for the things that are unreasonable. Don't go hoping for the person to come back. Don't wish for things to be the way they used to be because that is never going to happen. You only reminisce so that you make a reflection on life itself, and think, why things happened the way they did. Why God made it that way. There's always a reason. Every cloud has a silver lining. As Steve Jobs said in his commencement speech; "You can't connect the dots(events) looking forward; you can only connect them looking backward. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."
