Today I Will Reinvent Myself

Today I made a promise to myself that I will take care of me more. Let go of people who treat me less important than I should be and make room for people that recognised my true value.
After a year of being single and in an amiable relationship with my ex, I have finally blocked him in all my social media and made a complete cut off. I wanted to keep the friendship but I feel like it is very unhealthy and it is stopping me from actually really moving on. Every time he misses me he texts me but when I reply he goes away. I feel like he’s using me as a filler for when he is lonely or when he needs validation. I feel my heart go up and down like a roller coaster so today I said, no more.
I am proud of what I did. It really took me a year to do this decision because I was maybe a little hopeful on the inside that it can be fixed. But some broken things are meant to be let go because fixing it can injure us more.

Proud of you too. Those kinds of relationships are so bad for you. Be the person you want to be and don't let someone like that pull you down. Sounds as if he is just using you anyways and someone who truly cares about you doesn't do things like that.

It is always good to start thinking about own self. It is one good way of being positive about things in life

Yay! I am so happy for you. Sometimes, we need to cut people off to find our own peace. I have made the same decision with my recent ex and my life's more peaceful now.

@flapiz In short, you aren't ready yet to move. There's still yet reservation in yourself.

It's sad that he didn't take you seriously anymore. I was seeing it in your recent post and I thought this relationship could end soon. He doesn't realize what was he missing. Good luck

Well yeah he is just very ambivalent about his feelings. I felt like it was unhealthy for my poor heart. Moving on.

Many of us suffer because we allow ourselves to, it's good for you that you are stopping it all,when certain things don't workout we have move on because once we are stuck in the loop of thinking and feeling the old way because of our past relationship or may be some act then we don't move further and get stuck in sufferings hope your firm decision may lead to happiness and a better life

What a huge step you have taken. It is admirable and I applaud you for being so brave. A break up isn't always something easy to handle. You will be alright when your wounds finally heal!
