Sometimes a break up needs to happen in order for change

As much as I'm heart broken and depressed these last few weeks.....i know this break up needed to happen. Otherwise i probably wouldve kept doing the same shit over and over without realizing i was doing things wrong. I kept doing the same things and just thought "oh she loves me so i can keep getting away with shit". Even my sisters warned me if i dont start doing certain things then my girlfriend will leave me and i just laughed and said she "loves me". Not only did i not grow with my ex, but i just stopped being a thoughtful considerate boyfriend in the last few months and never talked about our future. So many reasons why her love was lost for me. I would love to get a second chance and show my ex that I wouldnt be the same as before and that i can give her the best version of me she has never seen. But the chances of getting back together is slim to none. So i know this will just teach me to be the best me for my future relationships.
