Moving On

Moving on is hard to do. You don't want to do it but you know you have to. You're stuck in limbo trying to move on and go forward with your life and trying to hold on to what you had in the past. I wish it was easier, but its not. I am obviously going through a break up, and I am really learning a lot about life and myself. I have learned that:

• Life does not wait for anyone. When you just want to sit in bed and take some time off from life, it does not care. 
• Love is blind, and no matter how many warning signs you get, you cannot see them or refuse to see them when you are in love.
• Communication is the key to any relationship. Any couple that is in love can make it through the first six months without a problem. It is how you communicate that holds you together or tears you apart after the pink cloud phase. 
• Praying helps so much. God is the new man in your life- not your rebound and not your cat. I would know. The most comforting feeling when you are lonely is knowing you still have someone to talk to as you fall asleep and when you wake up in the morning.
• You should make lists. I'm making a list right now. I have made so many lists to help put my life in perspective. I have listed pros and cons about him and about the breakup, things I have learned about myself, things I'm going to do differently in my next relationship, things I took for granted about him, and I have literally counted my blessings. 
• Take a lot of space. You can't try to keep track of him and what he is doing and who he is talking to. Keep him out of sight and hopefully soon he will be out of mind. 

I can't say I always follow my new life lessons religiously. That is probably why I am struggling with this whole moving on thing so badly. All you can do is try and wait for the storm to pass. But, its usually easier said than done.
