notes on moving on

i. no one is going to have the same lips or the same eyes or the same smile as him. stop searching for the familiar parts in the people you meet. it’s time you break the habit of him.

ii. no matter how deeply you inhale your cigarettes or how many shots of vodka you drown yourself in, the ashes in your lungs and the burn in your gut will not rid the ache in your chest.

iii. seeing him moving on fine while you’re still grieving is going to make you feel like throwing up. but you’re supposed to be happy for him, so you’ll bite your lip and smile and pretend it doesn’t faze you. sometimes, you just have to fake it till you make it.

iiii. there will be nights when you’re on the bathroom floor crying while everyone’s asleep, when everything inside you is bleeding and you’ll hate yourself for feeling too much. but that’s okay. you need to remind yourself that you’re only human and it’s okay to feel.

v. you’re not going to feel up for brunch with your best pals or a social night out with new faces. but go anyway. it beats staying within the four walls of your room and an overthinking mind.

vi. maybe you’ve given him parts of you that you’ll never get back. but so what? pick up new interests and indulge in other activities that will create new parts to fill up the voids. you’re still changing, and life goes on even after him.

vii. we’re all different in the ways we cope with our pain. not everyone is going to approve of them, and that’s okay. it’s not going to be an easy journey and the road gets longer for some. but baby girl, please, just please, do not give up on yourself.

Unpopular opinion but an adult still living at home with their birth family doesn’t owe you an explanation for why they’re living there. 

It could be an illness/disability they have that’s not fully visible. Maybe they want to be around to care for their aging parents. Maybe the rents in their area are so disgustingly, astronomically high that it really doesn’t make sense for them to move out. Maybe they just don’t trust strangers enough to move into shared accommodation. No matter what it is, it’s not your business.

It is all part of our journey.
