My Story

My story begins a few years ago, I was in love with my girlfriend, we had a great time together, just as a normal couple. I started having a dream about a shared future and really thought she would be the woman of my life. One day, without seeing it coming, she broke up with me, she said she didn’t love me anymore and it was better to separate our ways. Of course, I begged her to stay with me but without results. I was so destroyed, I was sitting and crying, listening sad songs, reading our old conversations, watching old photos. I didn’t want to do anything, I was just thinking about what I was doing wrong. I wanted to get her back, to find the solution of what I did wrong and get her back. I didn’t know how to do it, I tried to message her, I tried to read ways how to get your ex back, but nothing seemed to work. I decided I had to move on and continue my life.

I wanted to forget her so I can stop crying all the days.

I felt hopeless I didn’t know what to do, my friends tried to help me and told me it was nothing and I should occupy my day and not think about her. I had no idea how to do it.

I felt so guilty, I wanted her to come back and I want me to move on. I felt that huge hole in the heart was created and I had no idea how to fill it. I thought I am a strong and happy person but instead, I discovered I was weak and worth nothing without her, it was a terrible feeling. I didn’t want my friends to think I was a weak person.

The problem was that no matter how I tried to occupy my day, every day before going to sleep I started to think about her again. No matter how strong I felt, at night I felt weak again, all the thoughts took me 5 step backward. I was so close to just give up and accept my life just like it was.

After some days I started thinking about the old “me”, the happy and optimistic one. I realized that I was happy before I even knew her and I had to return who I was. I understood that running from my thoughts wasn’t the right way to solve the situation. I had to use my inner powers to confront the old memories and learning to be happy with them. I realized I had the power and the control on my thoughts, on my mind, and on my life. Being optimistic and controlling the mind was the way I started to smile again. I understood that only thinking about a healthy future would take me out of the horrible state I was in. So I decided that from that day, I wouldn’t be escaping from my memories, but I would try to think about the future, the one I wanted. I started imagining my future life, the life I wanted. My feeling improved very fast and suddenly hope was created.

My plan was to do so until I forget my ex completely and the feelings I had to her. I asked my friends not to talk about her or this subject and just let me move on. I was listening to happy and optimistic songs, tried not to hear sad or romantic songs. I just try to avoid anything that could remind me of her.

It wasn’t easy, not everything was under my control. Suddenly a photo could pop up on Facebook or I was reading old conversations without controlling it. I found it was really hard to let her go, but I realized I had no choice. I decided to delete all our photos, all our conversations, throwing away all the letters and block her on all the social platforms. I felt guilty, I felt like it was childish and I shouldn’t do it, but I knew I must do it in order to forget her. It took me some hours to do what I had planned. Although the bad end, we had many good experiences together.

Finally, after thinking positive and avoiding any contact with her, I could forget the feelings I had. Only good memories lasted and no pain or guilt were felt anymore. I felt such a big relief and my life was just as I always wanted it to be.

During the recovery time, I suddenly saw I became even more optimistic than ever, I felt super strong. I felt like everything was so small and I felt so powerful. I found myself dealing much better on all my life aspects, health, career, relationship and more. I found my deepest powers, and today I am able to help others overcome this unpleasant situation. It is the best thing that could have ever happen to me and I am so thankful it happened.
