It takes time to be at peace after you lose someone important to you, to accept the fact that things have changed. You probably see it as the worst thing in world, and can’t seem to understand why such a terrible thing could happen to you. Did you do something wrong to deserve this?

At the end of the day, this is the situation. The person you love changed. The relationship you were in, is not the same. A part of your life is no longer a part of your life. It may not make sense right now, but one day, it will. It really will.

You can’t let that experience tear you apart. You can’t let this hold you back forever.  It’s up to you to get up, to find ways to happiness once again, and to move on. Recreate yourself, your life, and everything that you used to love to do before they entered your life. You were ok before them, and you will be ok after them.

People change. It’s a real shame. But you too have the power to change. Never forget that.  You deserve the best, and you need to believe that. There’s no need to sit around at home and cry. It’s up to you to take this situation, and make it into the best one possible.

You are a diamond, a gem, and it is their loss. Not yours. Not everyone is the same, and please never convince yourself of that – there are so many incredible, loving, and loyal people out there. And there is someone waiting just for you.

When you’re ready, you’ll remember all the beauty that life has to offer, and you’ll be ready and excited to meet a new person, to learn everything about them, and stay up all night talking about life. You’ll feel those butterflies in your stomach like you once did. It’s not over.

Only this time around, you will be so much more appreciative. You’ll be more sure of everything this time around.  It’s your job to be strong, in your mind, in your heart, and in your heart.
