This Is Exactly What You Should Say When You Get The ‘I Miss You’ Text

By Kirsten Corley,

It’s never easy when you finally get those words you’ve been waiting to hear for so long. In your mind, you think everything will be fixed with the words, “I’m sorry.”

But sometimes getting those words don’t provide you the closure you wanted. Sometimes those words don’t do anything at all but give you a little ego boost. And after they are said you realize you might have been in love with this person but the greater strength wasn’t forgiving them but forgiving yourself and realizing you deserve better.

This quote is your reminder to move on ✨

“Your new life is going to cost you your old one. It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It’s going to cost you relationships and friends. It’s going to cost you being liked, and understood. But it doesn’t matter. Because the people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side, and you’re going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward. Instead of liked, you’re going to be loved. Instead of understood, you’re going to be seen. All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are.” — Brianna Wiest, The Mountain Is You
