Sometimes in life, moving on is one of the hardest things to go through, so here's a few bits of advice for anyone who's moving on- from anyone, any thing or any place in their lives, because after all the past is in the past, and we all have to move on.

To the person moving on from a friendship:

Everyone knows that friendships are one of life's biggest blessings, because when you find the type of person that you can share the deepest, darkest parts of yourself with, which is hard to do in most cases, it's generally very hard to get over something like that. When a friendship is nearing an end, you can always feel what's happening. You begin to text less and less, you don't hangout hardly at all, you start to see them with other people who you never thought they'd ever get along with. And one day, as sad as it is, you just kind of stop talking. Being the type of person who has had many friendships start and end, but then rekindle, my first piece of advice would be to not give up hope right away just because things seem a little sour. Wait it out for a little while and then decide if you need to hold on or move on. My second piece of advice would be to know when to let go-- after all sometimes there are things that just can't be fixed. Lastly, I would have to say that you shouldn't hold onto the friendship after it is done and over with. That will only cause you more pain and make you wonder what went wrong and if it's your fault. People grow apart and more importantly, they grow up and sometimes that means growing in a different way than another person. Go out and find a new friend, because there will always be someone that would appreciate you.

To the person moving on from a relationship:

I want to say that no matter what you might be thinking, this situation is one hundred percent not the end of the world. Although moving on from a relationship can be one of the hardest situations to move on from, I have advice for anyone who might be going through it. Number one: cry if you need to. Cry as much as you breathe if it's what you want. Until you cry so much that you can't cry anymore, you aren't any closer to feeling better, and you sure aren't any closer to starting the moving on process. Number two, once you stop crying, make sure you are able to find other things to focus on, because if you don't have something to focus on, you'll just get sad again and that brings you two steps backwards. I'll admit, you will get a little sad sometimes, but by the time you reach your goal of moving on, you'll know that you'll be okay. Number three, in a time like this, always remind yourself that you are a strong, confident person who doesn't need anyone that doesn't need you. Finally, number four, find what makes you happy during times like this so that you'll always be able to pick yourself up because there won't always be someone to do it for you.

Finally, to the person who's moving on from one part of their life to a whole new part:

Whether you're transitioning from high school to college, youth to adulthood, single to in a relationship, or moving from just being you and the person you love, to having your first child, here's some advice: number one, don't give up on your transition. Whenever you feel like your transition is just too tough for you, never give up. Transitioning is all apart of life and no matter what, you'll always go through different stages of your life and you'll always move from one part of life to another. Number two, have people beside you to help you through it, especially if moving on is hard for you to do. Finally, remember that your life is more precious than anything on this Earth, so make it the best that you can. Don't be afraid to move on from high school to college, or youth to adulthood, it's all apart of life.

Here's to the future, because the past is done.
