Lost Love

Never be sad for what is over, just be glad that it was once yours.

This quote has good intent but isn't very realistic. While I do agree with the quote that we shouldn't dwell on the past and we should keep moving forward, I disagree that you should never be sad.

Many of us go through break ups in our lives and we know that all situations are different but it never seems to get that much easier to leave the past in the past. It's ok to be sad that something is over but don't let it overwhelm you, give yourself boundaries. Allow yourself some time to grieve and then when that time is up, start doing every little thing you can to move forward and away from it. If you start to get upset over something from your past, don't let it get you down, be glad that you can say it once was yours. Be appreciative of what you have, and what you have had, the lessons you learn from them are worth the heartache. But be sure to remember those lessons, carry them with you to your next relationship and apply them when needed. Don't make the same mistake twice.

Keep a positive support system in your friends and family and go to them when you need help, it's not a bad thing to ask for help, it shows a strength in you, that your willing to learn and grow.

Always remember, positive thoughts = positive emotions

Peace, Love, & Happiness
