I have really prioritized losing hope. It's been painful, but I keep reminding myself of reality. When the ex comes to mind, I reroute my thoughts to how I am going to rebuild my future. It's overwhelming because I never thought I would be at this point. I thought my future was with him and our plans. I keep reminding myself that I can do this. I can create a new future for myself, and I'm not alone. My family will always be here for me.

 

I went on a hike today, which is a hobby the ex and I shared. It's the first hike without him, but I feel that it's important to face this head on. While I was walking, I was realizing that there won't be anymore hikes for us. It was very sad, but I was able to find some sort if acceptance there. I let myself feel the sadness, and I finished the hike. That was it. A solo hike that my ex knows nothing about. We were avid hikers, and those are some of my most vivid memories. I came home, and called my mom to tell her about the hike. Then, I realized that there are actually people in my life that would love to hike with me or hear about it. So I'm not as alone as I imagine, and I can enjoy my life without the ex.

 

Thanks for anyone listening. My family is tired of listening to me, and they pretty much hate my ex.
