@_mami_01_: You can miss someone and still know that you’re better off without them. We sometimes romanticise this feeling of missing someone. We confuse it with love, with our destiny if you like, or even a sign that maybe we've made the wrong decision. But missing someone is a normal human emotion, especially if that person really meant something to you; and it’s not a reason to return to what hurt you. You can miss someone who was wrong for you. You can miss someone who depleted your energy. You can miss someone whose absence is actually the reason you’re finally healing. Missing someone doesn’t mean you were meant to stay; it means the feelings you had towards them in wanting them to be a part of your life were genuine. The truth is, emotional attachment lingers long after a relationship becomes unhealthy. Your mind will crave what’s familiar even when what’s familiar was destroying you. Missing them is not a message nor is it a sign that you’re not healing, rather it’s a natural part of letting go. The real turning point comes when you learn to hold that feeling without surrendering to it because you remember why you had to walk away. You didn’t walk away because you stopped caring; you walked away because they stopped caring and you finally started caring about yourself. And that decision might just be the greatest act of love and respect that you ever give to yourself.
