How to leave someone you love (and who doesn't make you feel good)

Letting go is difficult but it is even more difficult to let go, especially when the person to get away from is someone we love and with whom we have shared a piece of the journey, including tears and smiles.
There comes a certain point, however, when it is necessary to make a decision, put the good aside and focus on ourselves.

1. · 1. Love is eternal until it is one way
2. · 2. Learn to be alone
3. · 3. Ask for help
4. · 4. You are enough

Erich Segal, author of the 1970 book Love Story, theorizes that "loving means never having to say I'm sorry". We do not know if it is true, but certainly in love, sorrow is natural, especially when, for one reason or another, one is forced to make a drastic choice such as, for example, that of ending a relationship.

Being alone is not dramatic, only that at first it could turn out to be more complex than expected, given that, for a long time, we have been used to being two.
You will have to do everything possible to remember how you were before even if, after a breakup, only the wonderful memories reappear, those of you at the sea who are desperately looking for the right light for a selfie. The after, the one in which you fought over a nonsense because he didn't like the caption, nobody remembers it.

3. Ask for help

There are situations in which it is really necessary to ask those around us for a hand. Write to your parents and organize a dinner, say yes to those colleagues who always ask you to go out with them for an aperitif and throw yourself. Start doing an activity that you would never have thought of before: yoga, playing an instrument, signing up for a cooking class...
No man, or woman, is an "island. At first it will be difficult, but then you will learn the importance of having new points of reference."

4. You are enough

This is perhaps the most difficult thing ever, learning to be enough. Don't close yourself in the past and use this time to get to know yourself and to become stronger.
Only in this way will you be ready for a new, and even more splendid, adventure.
