Sometimes in our lives we cross paths with people who will change our lives forever, even if it's only for a brief moment. They let us discover who we are, they teach us new outlook in life, and they become a very important part of our story. And when you go on your separate ways, we easily focus on the pain, the "what could have beens" and the mistakes. But what if we chose to remember only the good things?
It doesn't mean that when you're moving on you have completely forgotten the person or you act as if that person never mattered to you. Maybe it's just a part of the journey of letting go of the pain while holding on to the lessons. It's about accepting that the connection you once had was real and that the person you shared it with deserves to be happy, just as you do.
If you wish your ex well, it doesn't mean you're hoping to reconcile with him or her or you want to be his/her best friend. It's a quiet, personal act of grace. It's a way of saying, "Thank you for the part you played in my life. I hope you find all the joy and success you're looking for."
So, as you move on, let go of the bitterness. Instead, remember the joys and laughter, the growth, and the unique connection you once shared. Wishing them a good life is one of the most empowering and liberating things you can do for yourself.
