Everyone says they can walk away. Everyone believes they can just end it when they're ready. How many of us talk a good relationship game but live another?
In today's relationship game, the heart trumps logic, rationale, and damn near everything else. Too many times, we tell ourselves that we're ready to move and date other people.... but how many of us really believe it.
Remember this point right here.
If your heart isn't ready for it to be over, then you won't be over it.
Every day we tell our minds and ourselves that we're through and today's the day we will do something new. False. You'll go through the motions and end up at the same place. Don't be the one who meanders in denial and looks like a fool to others. On the contrary, you should embrace the truth and realize your situation. Acknowledge to yourself that you want to move on but that you might just need to work things out in the relationship(or lack thereof) before your heart is ready to give in.
If you can convince the heart, the rest of you will follow.
Love is the most powerful drug we can be consumed by. It knows no end and is priceless. The question you have to ask yourself is, can you afford it?
Love is only half the battle. You can love portions of a person, but in the end, if the heart don't fit, you gotta quit! Let time heal your wounds and let experiences with that "special" someone proves to your heart that it's time to jump on board.
Your heart shall break whether you say you're feeling fine or not.
This is especially true if you dedicated true time and effort to your relationship. If persistence was key in trying to get your significant other, then what makes you think the exit will be any easier? You asked for this, and now it's time to man up to the consequences.
