You’ve spent more time than you’d like to admit fantasizing about someone you can’t have.
Or someone you once had who is no longer in your life.
Your whole sense of self is tied to the idea that you two should be together.
By chasing that carrot, you’re getting further away from the gold. You’re leaving yourself behind.
But if you know the reasons why you can’t stop thinking about him, it’s easier to see how your life could improve if you let him go.
The more clearly you can see the path you’re on, the sooner you can get back to becoming the person you want to be.
