When one door closes, another one opens. We must allow ourselves to move on from past situations in order to get on with our lives. It is not healthy to dwell on these experiences and let them upset our day(s). Our friends and loved ones will support you through this difficult time, but we also need to do our part and work on ourselves. Wake up and carry on with our day and live our lives. Distractions are good. They keep us focused and time alone helps us grow as a person. Through this journey, we must remember that things will become better. Even if it doesn't seem like things are okay now, eventually, a page will turn and a new chapter will start.

Forgiving yourself is a skill that one has to master. It might take some time, but in the end, it will all be worth it. Whatever went wrong, it was no one's fault and it happened for a reason. Reflecting on an experience on good terms is probably the best thing you could do - rather than dwelling on it and only thinking of everything that went wrong. With that being said, it is important to stay focused and keep your head high above it all. As said before, distractions are good and keep us prioritized for the time being. Above it all, our goals are there for a reason. We must work hard in order to get to them. The small stuff we were dwelling on before wouldn't matter in the long run. It's best to ask, "Will this matter in the next week, month, or year? Will this realistically matter in the long run?"

This time period is hard, and everyone around us should know that. Realistically, they are not in our shoes and don't know how hard it is to let go. We take as much time as possible and do whatever we need to, in order to feel normal again. Over time, things will get better and this experience will change you. You would feel stronger, with this gained knowledge and should be grateful for the experience and it happening. Without it, you wouldn't be where you are today and everything does happen for a reason. It is not your fault for things happening the way it did, and you should know that. Humans are flawed for a reason because each and every one of us makes mistakes in order to grow as individuals. So here's a reminder. It is okay to be sad, angry, or confused. Everything will work itself out and remember that there will always be people in your life that stand by your side through it all. 4 years from now, you will become a different person and look back at life and laugh at all the mistakes. When you allow yourself to move on, I hope that you become a stronger and happier person.
