Rise Above -SuperDave71

[SuperDave71]

Just because we don't see something, doesn't mean it isn't there. We can go over the old cliché expressions over and over but one thing I have learned is that no matter how long you were with someone; no matter how much you loved one another; no matter what the distance or circumstances of your former relationship...they will always remember how you made them feel.

 

 

Regardless of how you feel right now, know in your heart that your ex will smile when they think of you. You may be thinking the worst right now but know deep down that we have all done it. We have all had a moment in time when we thought of an ex and just smiled or even wondered where they are now. If you want to dig a little deeper, your past (relationships included) has made you into the person you are now.

 

 

Pain is only temporary. You can focus on the pain, or you can focus on what it is you need to feel better. Things happen. You are only responsible for your part. You can't beat yourself up for something you didn't do. Wishing you did something different with the time you had is wasted. What's done is done. The pleasantries of what you THINK it may have added to the relationship are just that....wishful thinking. You can't change the past but we certainly all agree that our past makes our future.

 

We learn from our mistakes but we can't hold onto them forever. It would be as if you were holding a handful of tacks in your hand. The tighter you hold onto it, the more it hurts. Let it go. I know these three words are easy to say yet so much harder to do. As in all things, it is always easier to give advice than to take it.

 

Your sun will shine again if you want it to. Your clouds like any cloudy day will be lifted because tomorrow is a new day. Don't let your past ruin your present and possibly ruin your future. If you want something bad enough, you can get it if you try hard enough. The only difference is that you can't make people want or love you BUT....you can love yourself and learn that you don't need THEIR love only. You need self-love most of all. Without it, how can you learn to love again?

 

Take the bad with the good but most of all, try to see the good regardless of your situation. You will better off in the long run.

 

 

Take care of you,

Absolutely beautiful and true.

 

It will be a small thing that they'll remember: how you used to surprise them with a small flower, how you used to make a heart-shaped cake while they were studying, how you used to send a text in the morning "look out the window" just for them to see you standing there before going to work.

 

They will remember you and will definitely smile.

Another fantastic post Dave! Keep em' coming! Even those of us who've been on the healing train for a long time now need the occasional uplifting post.
