Overcome someone
It's practically impossible to stay with your first romantic partner for life. Chances are you'll go through many relationships in your life, some more meaningful than others, longer-lasting, more impactful. For this reason, when these relationships end, they leave a much deeper mark on us than any other. We associate certain clothes, certain places, or certain words or behaviors with that special person, and no matter who makes them or the context in which they take place, they remind us of them. We think they belong to them and that will never change, at least not until...
Do you know someone else:
No matter how much time has passed, we can't help but have feelings for someone. It's true, you can repress them, but it's very painful and difficult to achieve. When you meet someone else, things aren't easy; you may still be carrying the baggage from your past relationship. You hold back on doing or saying things because you think they're unique to the two of you. You stop going to your favorite places, or you consider traveling to a place that meant so much to both of you unthinkable. In other words, you shut down.
When you start dating someone, there will be times when you even feel awkward. They'll ask you a question or suggest going somewhere you're afraid to go because of homesickness or how you'll react, but you're also afraid to tell the other person why you don't want to do it or say it. Panic, stress, sadness. A mix of overwhelming feelings.
Sometimes there's no escape. Maybe it's a business trip or an event you'd already confirmed your attendance at and now you can't cancel, even though you're no longer going with the person you were originally planning to attend. Life isn't always fair and it's never perfect. No matter how much you overthink it, whether or not it's time to try those things again, eventually someone will come along who...
Press the reset button:
Suddenly, the things that weighed on you so much no longer do. Or, little by little, they begin to weigh less and less. You don't have to be a couple or have been together for a long time; when you connect with someone, you blurt out phrases you couldn't say before, you're encouraged to revisit places that were unthinkable, and everything feels so natural, organic, and right.
Maybe it won't be the next person you date after that person who left such a significant mark on your life, but eventually, someone will come along who will hit the reset button for you, and everything that was blocked will be unlocked. You'll learn how to...
Letting go:
It's difficult, yes, but not impossible. Besides, letting go doesn't mean forgetting. You shouldn't pretend your ex never existed; they were part of your life, and it's not right to pretend otherwise.
Overcoming and forgetting are different. By letting go, you open yourself up to a world of possibilities again. You allow yourself to create new experiences, new memories.
Maybe now yes, with the right person.
