it can be painful to break up as we all know. and it can be really hard to do the stuff that needs to be done in our lives that we really dont want to do. but it becomes necessary.
walking away stings. and even more so when we have been in a relationship that ended up not being a good fit for us.
once the smoke clears that is no longer being fueled by the insanity things start to look better.
sure the what ifs...will always swirl around like a thick fog...but in time that too will disapate. and yes the feelings that you have failed will be there. even if the other person had a serious character flaw it will be normal for the other person to have feelings of remorse. but the great news is there is a whole world out there and you never know who or what the forces of the universe are going to throw your way. or call it fate.
dont let the feelings of failure wear or weigh you down. stand up and just start stepping....be kind to yourself
