time to move on or get her back
A little more context: We started as friends, then things became casual, and eventually we got into a proper relationship. For a long time there was genuine love and attachment from both sides, but over time things became complicated. I made mistakes in the relationship and especially after the breakup — I reacted emotionally, chased, called/texted too much, and said things out of anger that I genuinely regret. She also made mistakes that hurt me, and there were things from her side that damaged the relationship and my trust. Eventually everything became so unhealthy that she decided to walk away and made it clear that she didn’t want contact. I tried once again after a period of no contact, but she replied that i have changed coz of you, and then i stopped texting her.
The thing is, I don't think I need to completely “forget” her. I need to learn how to live my life even if she still crosses my mind. I'm a musician from Mumbai, and I have so much I need to build — my music, career, body, finances, confidence and basically my entire life. I'm already working on these things, but subconsciously she still comes into my mind, and sometimes I wonder whether she'll ever come back. I don't want every improvement I make to secretly be about making her regret losing me. I genuinely want to become an unrecognizable version of myself for myself, regardless of whether she ever sees it. So how do I actually shift my mindset, focus completely on my life and keep progressing even when memories of her randomly come up? And realistically, after everything that happened, if I genuinely change, grow and build a completely different life, is there any possibility she could come back someday — or should I completely let go of that expectation and just let life decide?
