Pain, Reflection and Acceptance

One of the positive experiences that happen post-breakup and disappointment, is you have time to reflect. In the pain, there is an opportunity to evaluate what it was that attracted you, why you behaved as you did, and what, ultimately, drove you to the conclusion that you made. If I have learned anything during the past couple of years, it is that you must grieve and reflect after heartache. I realize that I have been going through a breakup and rebirth for over a year now. Even through my lover and I only separated for the final time in June, things had been going wrong for much longer. Ultimately, I realized that we were never a good match anyway. Our relationship was deeply flawed from the very beginning.
