They say love is blind, and that when you deeply care about a person, you do not see it even if they continuously hurt you. Sometimes you hold on for the sake of memories, or because you have strong feelings for your partner. Holding on is being brave, but letting go and moving on is often what makes us stronger and happier. Here are 5 signs it’s time to let go:
1. Someone Expects You To Be Someone You’re Not.
Don’t change who you are for anyone else. It’s wiser to lose someone over being who you are, than to keep them by being someone you’re not. Because it’s easier to mend a broken heart, than it is to piece together a shattered identity.
2. A Person’s Actions Don’t Match Their Words.
Everybody deserves somebody who helps them look forward to tomorrow. If someone has the opposite effect on you, because they are consistently inconsistent and their actions don’t match up with their words, it’s time to let them go. It’s always better to be alone than to be in bad company.
3. You Force Someone Lo Love You.
Let us keep in mind that we can’t force anyone to love us. We shouldn’t beg someone to stay when they want to leave. However, the end of love is not the end of life. It should be the beginning of an understanding that love sometimes leaves for a reason, but never leaves without a lesson. If someone truly loves you, they will never give you a reason to doubt it.
4. When The Relationship Is Based On Physical Attraction.
Being beautiful is more than how many people you can get to look at you, or how others perceive you at a single glance. It’s about what you live for. It’s about what defines you. It’s about the depth of your heart, and what makes you unique. It’s about being who you are and living out your life honestly. It’s about those little quirks that make you, you.
5. Someone Continuously Breaks Your Trust.
Love means giving someone the chance to hurt you, but trusting them not to. When you completely trust a person, without any doubt, you’ll automatically get one of two results – a friend for life or a lesson for life. Either way there’s a positive outcome.
