Don't waste your time admiring sunrises for someone who won't even stick around for the sunset.

I know it’s a hard concept to grasp, but if someone isnt feeling the same way that you feel, they’re not meant to stick around. The boy you believe is “the one,” who you sit around weeping for, reminiscing about all the things you did together, he’s happy with someone else. He’s whispering sweet nothings into that girl's ear who you imagined would be the last person he would ever fall for. You always thought it was going to be you. You were going to be that one he looked forward to spending his time with. Sadly, times have changed. Yes, you believed he was the one, and maybe he was the one in the moment, but things are different now. It’s a different season, the same love for him doesnt grow inside you anymore due to the fact you dont have him anymore. You felt as if you were guilty he left you. He messed up and he was the one who left you broken, yet you still apologized, and for what? Nothing.

Forget how you feel and remember what you deserve. It’s okay to be sad. It’s okay to admit you're weak right now due to his actions and him leaving. For, it’s all in the process of getting over him-it’s natural. You want him to ache the same way he makes you ache, but he doesn't. He seemed to have moved on to this other girl, pretending that he doesn't remember you, but in reality, he probably tosses and turns in his bed every night before actually falling asleep. You probably even haunt him in his dreams. But, you have to learn how to move on because he’s not vocalizing how he feels for you, he talks about how he feels for this other girl and you have to replace the time you spent on him.

So start listening to bands you’ve never even heard of, drink tea instead of coffee, run in the mornings, do anything to keep your mind off of him so your thoughts dont catch up to you. If he ever calls you up and asks how you're doing on a Sunday afternoon, and he thinks you’ll tell him how much you miss him, say, “it’s a Sunday afternoon. I’m busy. Please don't be calling back anytime soon.” I know you cannot fathom that he found someone new, but wish him the best of luck on any future endeavors and move on with your life.

Don’t have the mentality that you’ll be waiting whenever they change their mind, because you won't be. Flowers do not grow inside you for him anymore. In the heat of the moment when you had him, flowers bloomed and grew inside you for this boy and you believed you two were star crossed lovers, but he’s not here anymore. He left and took those flowers with him. You can move on; everyone has the willpower inside of them to do so. You dont want to, but you have to. Clearly, he wasn't the one for you if he had the audacity to leave you alone wondering what you had done wrong. No guy should ever make you feel as if you weren't enough or that you were the one who messed up when in reality, it was him. I know it’s hard to grasp, but he simply wasn't the one for you if he could rip you away from him like that. I know you cared deeply for him, probably more than he cared for you, but take this as a learning lesson. Things change, people change, but life doesn’t stop for anyone and wallowing in your sadness won't help you move on. Poison leaves your body bit by bit, not all at once. Be patient. Slowly but surely you are in fact, healing.

You are not a reflection of the ones who screwed you over.
