Taking A Step Back

Let’s talk about no contact after a breakup. It feels weird, right? Like slamming a door shut on a maybe, a what-if. But here’s the thing I’m starting to realize: sometimes, that’s exactly what you need to heal.

This breakup is fresh, and the temptation to text or to call is constant. It’s like a scab I keep picking at, keeping the wound raw. No contact is about stopping that cycle, giving myself space to breathe.

It’s not about punishment or forgetting them entirely. It’s about creating space to grow, to rediscover myself. Who am I, outside of that relationship? What makes me happy on my own?

Maybe with this time apart, I’ll see things clearer. Maybe the rose-colored glasses will fade, and I can see the relationship for what it truly was.  No contact might even help me appreciate the good while acknowledging why it didn’t work out.

Honestly, no contact is scary. But staying stuck in a loop of emotions is scarier.  I deserve the space to heal, to move forward.  And who knows, maybe down the line, things will be different. But for now, the focus is on me. On healing, on emerging stronger.

Just an average silly, nerdy chick. That's weird in probably a million different ways, sharing my sometimes fucked up life with you. Showing others that they should enjoy life, because there's always someone in a worse situation. View all posts by ~California Dreamer~
