I just realized...(trying to move on) I'm (20M) rn and I'm trying to move on my first love.
Problem/Goal: cant move on
I think the hardest part of heartbreak is the confusion.
Eventually, you learn to let go—not because it stops hurting, but because staying stuck between moving on and waiting slowly drives you insane.
The strange thing about moving on is realizing there was a time when you couldn't imagine feeling the way you do now. Back then, there was someone who understood you, stood beside you, and made you feel loved.
I spent almost two years in love, but looking back, I spent more time trying to fix the relationship than actually enjoying it. I kept chasing the version of them that once loved me, holding onto the hope created by those memories.
That hope can keep you running in circles for a long time.
Eventually, though, you realize something painful: sometimes people change. And sometimes the person you're fighting for no longer exists in the way you remember them.
That's when you finally get your cue to move on.
