It Hurts Thinking Of My Ex-Boyfriend

As I sit down and write this post, it is nearing our anniversary of officially being a couple. So, I’m sure you understand that it hurts thinking of my ex now because special days like anniversaries, Christmas and birthdays just accentuate the pain of being without the person you love.

Somehow, special occasions like these just make the yearning worse. You already can feel that something is missing from your life after a break up, but memories of celebrations together just come flooding back when special days are here to make you miss him more. I wonder how many Christmases, birthdays and Valentine’s days have to pass before the thoughts of my ex-boyfriend will be gone.

Sometimes, I tell myself that it is silly to let an ex make me feel this way. That just a thought of him hurts and makes my eyes watery. But, at other times, I also remind myself that the hurt means I have loved him with all my heart and there should be no regrets. After all, didn’t someone once said that it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?

So, yes, it hurts, but there is also a positive side to it if you choose to look at it from another point of view. If it doesn’t hurt when you think of your ex, it certainly can’t be a meaningful relationship that you have had. Only if it hurts, you will learn what you have lost and learn from the experience. Only if it hurts, you know the depth of your own feelings and understand them better. Only if it hurts, you know you have given it your all and it is, perhaps, not meant to be.
