You are currently asking yourself how do these people expect me to get over HIM so fast, but then you realize you're doing it without any knowledge and you don't even know WHY? Here's why...

You are getting over him BECAUSE:

1. He was never meant for you

If he was meant for you, he would have never hurt you. If he was meant for you, he would have never let you go. Here's why I say this, you're young, I'm young. There are "plenty of fish in the sea" but you only want HIM. I understand completely. The way he made you feel was breathtaking.

2. He was temporary from the beginning

There will never be another man who could make you feel as beautiful as he did in those few months. He was temporary because no matter what he told you in those few months, he only planned to stay for a few months. You talked about not wanting to be hurt, he promised to not hurt you. You talked about your past, and he promised to never make you relive those moments. You talked about never wanting to trust again, HE MADE YOU TRUST HIM.

3. He played you for a fool

That's how he played you. He strung you around long enough for you to believe the lies. He made you think it was real. He made you fall into his trap, his kisses took your breath away, the way he held you in his arms so tight made you feel safe. But, as soon as you told him you felt safe, he slowly started to unravel his trap and let you back out into the cold world without him. Go figure.

4. Your MOM was right

Your mom told you it would happen, he was a temporary fix for you and you were the same thing to him. TEMPORARY. Who could ever believe their mom, right? She has no clue what she's talking about, its been years since anything like this has happened to her. NOPE.

Despite what you think, your mom has been through this multiple times and that is the exact reason you should start listening to her more often. She saw the glow in your eyes, but she knew you were falling into a trap. She knew the "love" was temporary but y'all never used that word. You just felt it.

That's what bothers you most, you loved him but you never told him. You weren't in love with him, but you loved him. You loved everything about him, but from the day he walked away until y'all speak again, if ever, he will never know you loved him at all. That is what hurts the most, knowing you loved somebody but never had the courage to tell them. Loving someone who only saw you as temporary hurts even more.

5. The number of tears you have cried could overflow a seven-foot-deep pool about now and that is RIDICULOUS

As you lay in bed and cry tonight, like you have for the past week, or months, remind yourself of this... If he knew you loved him would anything have changed? Would he still be here? Probably not. So don't let a four-letter word get inside your brain.

Crying hurts! The short unsteady breaths hurt your chest so bad you can't do anything but gasp for air. The number of tears you've cried have your bloodshot eyes burning as each tear progresses. Overthinking everything has your head pounding and you can feel your not-so-steady heartbeat in your temples. It is ridiculous, but we all do it. That is part of the "getting over him" process, and you're doing a DAMN GOOD JOB.
