Letter To Ourselves #9 | Written By Anonymous

It had been months since the break-up and I still couldn't get over it. Every night I would cry myself to sleep, wishing he had loved me enough to stay. But he didn't and now I was left to pick up the pieces of my broken heart. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I had to try. For my own sake, if not for anything else. So I started to write a letter to myself, in the hopes that it would help me heal. I wrote about how it felt when he said he wasn't ready for a relationship and how I felt like I had been punched in the stomach. I wrote about how much I missed him and how I wished things had been different. I wrote about how I was scared to love again, but how I knew I had to try.

By the time I finished writing the letter, I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. It was cathartic to finally get all those feelings out. And even though it hurt to relive those memories, it also made me realize that I was stronger than I thought. That I could get through this and come out the other side even better than before.

So if you're going through a break-up, or any tough time for that matter, don't be afraid to write a letter to yourself. It might. I wrote about how I was slowly starting to heal, but that it was going to be a long process. And then I wrote about how we had started talking again and how things were getting better between us. It was cathartic to write it all down and I felt better after doing so. If you're going through a break-up, I recommend you try it too. It might just help you heal a little bit quicker.

I hoped that writing this letter would help me heal my broken heart. And slowly but surely, it did.
