I think one of the most valuable life lessons I’ve learned was that it’s ok to still love someone but not want them back. Or that you can still have a deep love for someone else and still find room to love another just as much if not more. For the longest time after my my ex broke up with me I kept turning people down. Or going on dates and ignoring their clear interest in me. The one time I let it go further with someone new in the middle of our first time, I got up and left because I felt immense guilt and shame and had an anxiety attack. It was then that I was forced to look into my soul to find reconciliation. It was then that I had to think about myself. It was then that I realized these life lessons. It’s ok to let go. It’s ok to move on. Don’t let someone who doesn’t want you anymore control your future. Just do you.
