The Three Months Rule
I just happen to saw one of my facebook friends post about the 3 months rule since it was her 3rd monthsarry of being single.
The 3 months rule states that it is a sign of respect for your past relationship if you will start to flirt, mingle or be in another relationship, 3 months after ending your previous one.
It also suggests that it is just enough time for your heart to heal (though not everyone is capable of this, I guess we can just talk about the average people here :) ) and also enough time for you to regain whatever it is that got lost in you upon the break-up - probably your appetite, or the way you trust, or your point of view about life etc etc.
Well as for me, 3 months is never enough and is actually just enough. So,how is that?
3 months is enough for you to realize certain things. It is more than enough for you to start exploring your horizon. It is enough to make you love yourself again. This 3 months time can actually give you a lot of changes - to yourself, to your views etc etc. But 3 months can only do so much.
Indeed time heals all wounds. But in 3 months time..It can never be enough. 3 months is never enough to mend what was broken. It can never be enough to regain the trust lost - not just to the other person but to the love itself as well. It can never also be enough to make you feel the feeling that you once felt during your past relationship.
3 months is enough for you to stop battling with yourself, to let go of the what used to be and to start regaining the person in you that was lost but when it comes to loving again.. As for me.. 3 months is not enough to start falling in love again with another person but it is enough to fall inlove again..
with yourself.
