I never thought I would be writing you this letter. I really thought we would last forever, and nothing would ever come between us. As time went on we grew farther and farther apart. We were always fighting, and getting on each other's nerves. We just made each other miserable instead of happy and made life harder rather than easier.

Moving on is hard. Especially when all the things around me remind me of you. I can’t listen to certain songs, or smell certain smells, because it takes me back to moments I shared with you. That’s when I have to sit and think of the bad times with you, so I can remember why we aren’t in each others future.

In order to move on, you need to believe you can move on. You need to tell yourself that you don’t need that person in your life. Try not to talk about them, and don’t even try to contact them. Don’t dream of seeing them everywhere you go. Do not stalk their social medias. I know it’s all tempting but I promise it’s best not to.

I’ve found that distractions are a good part of the moving on process. Rather than focusing on what was hurting me and letting it tear me down, I decided to force myself to focus on something that I love and makes me happy. Force yourself to do it everyday so that you can train your mind to be happy and free again. Dedicate yourself to being happy. Surround yourself with people that believe in you and build you up. People that focus on your future and help you move on, not help you live in your past.

So if you’re ever scared of moving on, don’t be. You are not alone. No matter how scared you are of the consequences, you’ve got to keep on doing what you’ve been doing. People are temporary, but that shouldn’t hold you back from experiencing wonderful things. Your heart will always heal, just give it the opportunity to.
