I have only been in a few relationships, but each were special in their own way and large pieces of me were left in each of those relationships. Regardless of how long each relationship was, what you are left with is memories and longing. Longing for what used to be, contemplating whether or not it really had to end. How do you handle post break-ups? Some say just move on go on dates be single and explore the world. I for one am one that prefers relationships other than fleeting situations. Recently exiting a relationship, I found myself catching feelings for another, but have doubts. Sure you can think that dating someone right after a break-up is wrong, but there are worse things that could happen. It just so happened to come out that way. You try to distract yourself and meet new people and just happen to catch feelings. This doesn't mean that I don’t care for my ex, because the matter of the fact is that I have thoughts and moments where I yearn for that past relationship. I miss the person I saw and talked to for hours, had inside jokes, shared great memories, and even enjoyed the personal touches that came with it. You can still love a person after ending a relationship and I feel that greatly. There are times in the day where I think whether we could have gotten past our differences or what if we decided to tough it out and mend the relationship. At the end of the day you realize that relationships end for a reason, but that doesn’t mean you can’t miss the person you were once with.
