Hey y’all! It’s ya girl, 💁‍♀️ and today I’m here to share some reflections on my past relationships. I’m sure we’ve all had a fair share of heartbreaks and lessons learned in our romantic lives, and I want to take a minute to reflect on mine and share some insight with you all. So grab a cup of tea ☕ and let’s dive in!

💔 It’s okay to let go

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in past relationships is that it’s okay to let go. Sometimes we hold on to relationships that are no longer serving us because we’re scared to be alone or just don’t want to face the pain of a breakup. But the truth is, holding on to something that’s not working out is only going to hurt you in the long run. It’s okay to acknowledge that something’s not working and it’s time to move on.

💔 Communication is key

Another lesson I’ve learned is that communication is key. In relationships, it’s important to be open and honest with your partner about how you’re feeling. Bottling up emotions or avoiding difficult conversations only leads to more problems down the line. It’s not always easy to have those tough conversations, but they’re crucial for a healthy relationship.

💔 Don’t lose yourself in the relationship

It’s easy to get caught up in a relationship and lose sight of who you are as an individual. But it’s important to remember that you are your own person with your own interests and passions. Don’t sacrifice your own identity to fit into someone else’s mold. A healthy relationship should allow you both to grow and thrive as individuals, as well as a couple.

💔 Trust your instincts

If something doesn’t feel right in a relationship, it probably isn’t. Trust your instincts and don’t ignore red flags. It’s better to address issues early on than to let them fester and cause more problems down the line. Your gut feelings are there for a reason, so listen to them!

💔 Take time for yourself

After a breakup, it’s important to take time for yourself to heal and reflect. This can be a difficult and painful process, but it’s necessary for growth and moving on. Take this time to focus on self-care and work on improving yourself, whether it’s through therapy, hobbies, or just some alone time. Remember, you don’t need someone else to complete you – you’re already whole on your own.
