It's Time For You To Walk Away.

For some reason, the less you think about it, the easier it becomes.

The less you stress about, the more effortlessly it will happen.

It starts with little things, like realizing that a whole day has passed and they didn’t cross your mind because you were more invested in yourself and your emotional wellbeing.

It starts with not caring about whether or not you’ll see them or whether or not they’ll reach out to you.

It starts with realizing that you’re not as invested as you used to be and it doesn’t feel like losing.

It starts with you being okay with not having them in your life anymore.

It starts with you imagining a future without them and it doesn’t make you feel sad.

It starts with your heart, when it doesn’t skip a beat when they’re around. When it slowly starts closing off because it doesn’t feel safe to proceed. It doesn’t feel safe about moving forward. When it slowly starts feeling better about feeling less.

It’s time for you to move on.

I know you don’t want to read those words. I didn’t want to write them either because I’m in the same boat. But hun, it’s time for you to cast your sail and distance yourself from the man you keep trying to reach. Like everyone says, if it was meant to be, it would have happened. Sticking around for a round two or three or six is not going to change anything. You have fought the good fight. It’s time to tap out. And if you get anything from reading this piece, you should know that it’s not your fault. Anything more you do will not change his mind. Like the stages of grief, now comes the last stage: acceptance.

You’ve been sad far too long. You’ve pined after him enough. This does neither you nor him any good. He doesn’t want you in his life but you keep popping up. Just let the man be. And let yourself breathe. You’ve been beating up your heart over someone who does not want any of your love or friendship.

You have a lot of love to give, a lot of years to live, and he’s a fool for not seeing the beautiful woman right in front of him. Don’t be a fool yourself.
