The Pain of Progress

One of the toughest things after breaking up with someone is discarding that half of you that you gave to your ex-significant other. It's time to move on, and even though you have maintained your "own identity", you can't deny that a part of you has been forcefully removed and all that is there now is emptiness. One of the steps on the road to recovery is discovering again who you are without that person, what your happinesses are, what your weaknesses are and what your strengths are. You must grow back that part of you which you gave away, and it can hurt. It can really hurt trying to carry on by yourself, but what is worse is hanging on to the past. Your soul needs to heal, it needs to grow whole again, and by hanging on to the past and denying that you are now without the other person, denies your soul that healing process, denies yourself the chance to become complete again. Yah it hurts like a bitch to admit it's over and let go. But the longer you hang on, the longer you live in denial, the longer it'll take for you to heal.
