Five Ways You Know You are Over Someone

One of my favorite books, “The Long Walk Home,” discussed the broken heart of the main character. She is grief stricken to the point where she can’t eat, sleep, or speak. Her aunt tells her that one day she will break up and be ok. The day finally comes, and she IS ok. Here are the five ways you know when you are over an ex.
1. You barely think about him/her - I use to wonder about this person all the time, but now I don’t care. The only time that I do is when I see something that does remind me of that person. The constant thoughts diminished, and you see yourself thinking about more important things.
2. You are totally cool about him/her dating someone else - At first, you feel this gut-wrenching jealousy that he/she is with someone else. Let me tell you that the feeling goes away. You actually start feeling sorry for this new person because she doesn’t realize what she is getting herself into.
3. You see a picture of him/her in the arms of the other person and you all think is “Meh” – Nothing bothers you anymore. You actually don’t even think about it and just go on about your business.
4. Not attracted to him/her – You look at your ex’s picture, and you do not even find him/her attractive anymore. You can see why you did, but that person is not for you anymore. It makes you wonder if he/she ever was.
5. Wonder what you were thinking - Sanity comes in to play when you laugh about how dumb you were to be broken hearted over such a person. “What was I thinking?” is all you can think about when you do think about this person. This is the final step.
One thing I have to say is that a broken heart heals, and you only need yourself to make sure that happens.
