Breaking Up is Hard to Do

The worst part of every relationship is the break up. No matter the situation, break ups are hard. They hurt and only time can heal the pain. People say that breaking up with someone has about as much pain as a loved one passing away. Friends and family can try and help with the pain, but they can never fully take it away. Only time will allow the wound to heal. Break ups may be hard, but the first break up is always the hardest. It was your first love and a part of you doesn't want to let it go. But then you realize that you have to let go. Letting go is the best thing to do, the only way to be happy. The realization of knowing you have to let go sucks. It hurts, but the pain is only temporary. But no matter how many times you tell yourself all these things, you cannot accept them. You just know that you are hurt and that's all there is to it. You want to feel okay again, but you feel like that may never come. You know it will, but it just doesn't always feel like it. Friends and family may not be able to cure it, but they do help. They get your mind off of it. They help you have fun. But sometimes after a break up, a person just needs to be sad for a little while. They need time to feel their pain to make it all seem real. A person cannot move on from something that doesn't feel real. And after dating a person for a long time, you are in shock when the break up comes. You think to yourself where has the past two years gone? How did we get from where we started to this point. Those two years seem like a blink of an eye when it all comes to an end. But that blink of an eye changed your life. Every relationship impacts you in some way. The relationship may have ended but it is just the start of many more to come. Break ups are often seen as an ending, but it's also a new beginning.
