I kind of ended my relationship with me now ex this year, I'm into another relationship, it was just a lot of shit, poverty, mental illness, other stuff combined, it was absolutely the worst time for when we tried that.

I love the person with whom I am now, it's nothing related to them, but fuck, Jesus Christ, some times the memories just kill you, it was a lot of years, it was a lot of things, how do I even exist after this? I know I'm not a person who know very well how to get over the past, but this kind of thing just feels like something that will accompany me to my grave.

It is a very cliché answer and one that no one wants to hear, but truly the only answer is time. Keep living your life, get rid of all traces of that person, do not do things that will trigger memories, and simply treat yourself well and with the kindness you deserve.

There are some burdens that we will forever carry, or will carry for a very long time. The emotions will fade I assure you, but there are some things that you will never truly be able to get rid of or forget.

You can do it mate. We're here for you if you need a helping hand.

Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.
