getting over a break up (that was a long time ago, that you thought you were over but it still bugs you)

So there is always going to be that boy or girl that will tug at the heart strings no matter how much you convince yourself you are over them. You'll see a post on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and so on and so forth that will kill you a little inside. That's ok, things like that will happen to anyone, you are not alone. This could even happen to you if you are in a new relationship now and know you love the other person. These things happen, you were in that relationship with that person before for a reason and there were feelings for them. The feeling might have gone away but you will always care for them, it's natural. But you are not alone, it happens to the best of us. I bet you're wondering what you can do to get over it. Well in my honest opinion you should just try not to think about that person, if something reminds you of it, get rid of it or put it something so you don't see it. If you are friends with the guy or girl on Facebook or Instagram just unfollow them or unfriend them. It might bother you for a while but you will eventually get over it and won't be reminded of them because you won't be able to see their post, pictures, ect. So my philosophy is the less you see of them, the less you'll think about them, and the faster it will all go away. And if you are in a relationship when this is happening remember you are with that person for a reason. If you didn't like or love them you wouldn't be with them. They have also probably gone through the same thing so if you're comfortable enough with them, talk to them about it. I can almost guarantee they will understand. You'll make it through this, you've got this, you can do this!
