It’s Hard To Heal When You See The Person Who Hurt You Every Single Day 

It’s hard to heal when you exist in the same space as the person who hurt you. It’s hard to put your love for them in the past when you are reminded of them every single day.

You don’t have a chance to forget about them. You can delete their number from your phone and unfollow them on social media but you are still going to run into them every single day. You can’t remove them from your universe as thoroughly as you would like. You’re stuck. There’s nothing you can do except accept this person is not going anywhere.

When you see the person who hurt you every single day, it’s going to test your patience. Even when you’re pissed, you have to behave yourself. You have to act professional, mature, like the bigger person. You can’t lash out at them and make a scene in front of everyone. You can’t let the sight of them completely ruin your day. You have to learn to live with seeing them around every corner.

It’s hard to heal when you see the person who hurt you every single day because it takes away your chance at closure. You never get a proper ending, a final goodbye. You keep seeing each other day after day, week after week, month after month. There’s no ending in sight, which means there’s no telling when you are going to get over this person. They might never leave your heart.

When you see the person who hurt you every single day, it’s an emotional roller coaster. There are going to be times when you miss them because you catch them smiling in that way you’ve always loved. There are going to be times when you get upset because you catch them flirting with someone else. There are going to be times when you get pissed because they make one little mistake and all the pent-up anger you’ve had for them comes bubbling out. There are going to be times when seeing them just plain sucks.

When you see the person who hurt you every single day, you try your best to keep them out of sight and out of mind — but it’s impossible. No matter how hard you try to keep your distance, you’re always thrown into the same room together. You can’t catch a break.

When you see the person who hurt you every single day, it’s easy to take their presence as a sign. It’s easy to fall for them again. It’s easy to forget about all of the bad times you had. It’s easy to get conned into thinking it might be a good idea to try again. But you have to remember what you’re worth and remember what they put you through. Seeing them again is not a sign. It’s only a coincidence.

It’s hard to heal when you see the person who hurt you every single day. It’s hard to move on when you’re constantly running into a love you wish you could put in your past. Thought Catalog Logo Mark
