That feeling in your heart you get, when you realise that the guy you’ve been pining over for so long- has never been worth even thinking about.

Even when I see him in my university, I no longer get a pang in my heart. I don’t feel the sort of longing for him that I used to- something i didn’t expect to happen this soon. His presence is becoming more and more insignificant.

As for me? My lungs have become more free, I can breathe better now, I feel the freedom of my thoughts no longer being chained to one person.

After almost one month of no contact and therapy and self love, I am SO glad I made this decision. He no longer can manipulative me or make me bend to his will. I am FREE to feel however I want, do what I want.

I know I’m not quite there yet, but this is significant progress. And the most important part of this all: I am learning to love myself, to ensure that I never tolerate this kind of treatment from anyone again in my life. And I am proud of myself.
