It really does get better (from someone who didn't believe it would)

If you had told me a year ago that I'd be writing this post, I would've laughed in your face

A year and a half ago, after my breakup, I genuinely thought I'd never be excited about someone again.i posted alot of posts here venting and saying how bad it was , how it ended with a blindside over text after almost 4 years

I spent months overthinking, missing her, checking for signs, reading Reddit posts, and wondering if I'd ever move on. Every new person felt wrong because I was comparing them to my ex.

Today,I've been talking to a new girl for a while now. We've already gone on two dates, and for the first time in a very long time, everything feels natural. The conversations flow, I look forward to hearing from her, and being around her feels easy instead of forced

This post isn't about finding someone new. It's about hope.

If you're heartbroken right now and convinced your life is over, trust me it can get better

Keep going.

Keep healing.

Keep living.

One day you'll wake up and realize you're excited about life again.

And when that day comes, you'll be glad you didn't give up on yourself.
