“Live the life you’d be envious of if you saw someone else living it. This is my personal mantra. Whenever I’m going through a difficult time, like a breakup, and I’m wishing to be the person who could get over it and move on, I tell myself to be that person. Instead of waiting to be inspired by someone else and being jealous that they’re living a life I wish I had, I tell myself not to wait for that moment and to start being the person I want to be. If you wish you were the woman who went for that big promotion, learned a second language, dumped that guy who cheated on you, then just be that person. Think, if I have the energy to wish for it, I have the energy to do it.”

“What is that feeling when you’re driving away from people and they recede on the plain till you see their specks dispersing? - It’s the too huge world vaulting us, and it’s good-bye. But we lean forward to the next crazy venture beneath the skies.”

“You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It wont happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, ‘I don’t care how hard this is, I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not going to let this get the best of me. I’m moving on with my life.”

According to the Internet, the 7 Stages of Healing are:
1) Denial
2) Anger
3) Regret
4) Depression
5) Acceptance
6) Rebirth
7) New Life
I can’t really say what stage I am in because it changes. At times I feel extremely depressed and at other times I feel totally happy and it’s as if I’m ready to accept. But most often, I feel like I am constantly hovering within all seven stages….all at the same time.
I am still angry, and I can’t tell if I am truly in denial or not or just upset. I feel like I’ve accepted the situation, and yet I’m still depressed and keep blaming myself. I feel so much regret inside. Despite all this, a part of me is very happy with the way I’ve made new friends and how I’ve become more mentally and emotionally independent and strong.
But there are always times when I relapse once again into a deep, dark hole of desolation. Even when I am out and about, smiling or joking with my friends, there is always that one small laceration in my heart that just won’t heal—made of shadows delineating the past, broken dreams and painful memories that all refuse to leave me at peace.
