making space.

"When you let go of negative energy you're making space in your life that can be filled by something beautiful and positive."

I've learned there is a difference between healing and just "getting over" something or someone. The time of the healing process is relative to each person, but it takes some time. Some people just rush the healing process to get over the hurt, when in reality they haven't even fully acknowledged the pain yet themselves.  I was cheated on once and I didn't want to believe it. I quickly "forgave" him to move on. No consequences, just let it go thinking it was just a mistake and we could move on from it.  He was once a source of great energy in my life that I didn't want to let go, and moving on from that betrayal was very difficult. I tried to ignore the issue and downplay the situation in an attempt to easily move on and act unaffected. After the multiple break ups I finally came to the realization that letting go instead of trying to work things out together was the best move. Maybe the timing wasn't right, and maybe it will never be right because he just isn't right for me. It was time to make space for something better.
