What do you with the pictures, gifts, and other knickknacks from a previous relationship? If it was a life you had, how do you erase all of it because it didn't work out? After all, how we change and progress is affected by the life we lived and are living. Do all the sentiments get thrown out and scattered so that we don't have to think about it anymore? What do you do? Do you go to the same restaurants, do the same activities and have the same discussions with the new person? What if those things were some of your favorite things that you shared and now feel some kind of way about bringing in someone new. Is it disrespecting your ex-relationship and what you had with that person? What do friends and family think when now there is a different person on your side? Are folks uncomfortable because they had forged a friendship with the previous person? Will they be opened to the new person in your life or will they feel apprehensive?
Artifacts leave behind what happened, that way we can learn from what life was like as we put the pieces together, and perhaps avoid making the same mistakes.
Or do you scratch all the awkwardness of it all and stand alone?
Scratch all the awkwardness and leave behind what happened, but keep the positive people that surrounded you. Everything else to me, seems materialistic. Isn't it the memories that you create what you keep.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely!
ReplyDeleteThrow everything away.. dont do same restaurant, dont call same nicknames... New person= new relationship.. sometimes it's difficult to distance yourself completely from the old relationship (children, friends) but ty to close previous relationship in order to focus on the new one
ReplyDeleteThere is a reason God put our eyes on the front of our body. It’s so we can see where we are going, not where we have been.
