How do you forget a person who you've loved for 3 years? I should let go and move on. Everyone tells me that i deserve better. They're maybe right. But its so damn hard to let go

You do deserve someone who will love you equally as much as you love them. I can’t tell you that letting go is easy because it’s not. Letting go for me is staying up until it’s six in the morning crying because the thought of them is so fucking strong I could hardly breathe. But what I can say is that you shouldn’t force yourself to move on, or to let go. Because it happens naturally, you wake up one day and you don’t miss them as much anymore. It happened for me with my first love, I didn’t push myself to let go after I realized it was just making me hold on tighter. Instead, I accepted the way things were and how they were always going to be and I guess the part of me wanting her faded away. So it’s ok to not be able to let go, it really is because you can’t force yourself too. Only your heart can let go when it’s ready. No matter how long it takes, loving them will fade away as if it were a distant memory.
