You have been in this relationship for years. You know each other’s favourite flavour of ice cream. This person has grown to be a part of you. You’ve shared some of your darkest moments together. You get each other but that was then, and now it’s over and it is hard to remember a time when you weren’t together. Who am I going to run to when something exciting happens or when I just need a hug? Can we still be friends after breaking up? Can I be happy for you and watch you move on? How do I move on?
Moving On From A Breakups
Moving on from a breakup is never easy. To me, it is kind of like when you were a kid and worked hard on building a castle out of the sand. You spend so much time and effort into making it perfect.

You were so dedicated to this project that you look up and finally realize that you had built it too close to the water. It was slipping from right under you and there was nothing you could do to save it. It was a good sandcastle, in fact maybe even a great sandcastle, but now it is gone and my friend, it is time to move on.
