Hey guys! It's a chilly Tuesday evening here, and I'm ashamed to admit that I've been in my pajamas all day. I have done nothing productive except play a video game, watch an episode of Project Runway, make some pizza rolls, order some groceries online, and do some blog networking. I wanted to make a full blog post, but struggled all day to find a topic I wanted to share my input about.
A friend of mine suggested talking about how to move on into another relationship after being hurt by someone in a previous one. She also made an excellent point regarding social distancing, being under "lock-down," and not necessarily being able to date right now with everything going on in the world: we're being forced to communicate in relationships now more than ever, and getting to know each other on a deeper, more meaningful level occurs more often due to less distractions, obligations, and responsibilities.
I have been hurt in past relationships more than I would like to admit, and it's difficult to elaborate on parts of my past due to the pain it will bring into my head, but moving on is a tricky subject. For me, it took finally realizing my own personal worth that helped me fully recover and for my relationship with Chris to be the greatest for both of us. Nothing that anybody told me before that would make me realize what I deserved from somebody as a partner, and I let myself get torn down inside by men who deserved less than my eye contact for what they did to me. So, I think that figuring out what your wants and needs are in a relationship are crucial when moving on and dating somebody else.
For me, personally, being stuck at home all day without a job has been stressful and taxing mentally, emotionally, and physically. However, if there's one thing I'm happy about, it's Chris and I's ability to communicate and not freak out on each other from living and breathing the same air nearly 24/7. For only officially living together for the past few months, adjusting to the stay-at-home orders was tough at first, but we've gotten the hang of it, we get along really well, and we've gotten to know each other so much more out of it.
Thanks for reading! Share with me your thoughts, personal views and experiences on these topics. I can't wait to hear from you! ❤️
Good post. I enjoy reading. But I have to honest that I don’t know what to comment about relationship. It‘s been an ages since the last time I’ve been in love. Now I am more into enjoying my single life and working hard to be the person I want to be.
