Definition of Moving On

Perhaps, moving on is more to accepting the fact that everything has changed. What do you think?

Yesterday while talking with my dear friend, we discussed one of the topic which was about the past relationship. 

While she talked, I was trying to figure out the definition of moving on according to her, because there are so many different angles to see it. 

Then she said to me "I'm trying so hard to forget everything that has happened, and focused more in work."

Her answer strikes my mind because my definition and her definition is totally different, but still the same. It is called moving on also. While knowing that she was still affected with some action that her ex-partner causes her, I suggested her to calm down, don't pressure herself too much and just enjoy life. 

I have been there as well. I had felt the affected effect that being caused by my ex-partner, but that doesn't mean I will continue to allow myself to get affected by it. This has to stop.

When you get affected, you need to remember one thing, it's okay to let yourself get affected for a moment but not too long. 

I often see the positive side when I get affected. It's like when you see the person that you have loved once enjoying doing whatever in his life, then that's good. Just pray for them from a far and continue enjoy your life. 

Forgetting takes time but it won't happen if you force it to your mind. Besides, forgetting is not part of moving on, accepting is part of moving on. 

When you accept the fact that everything has changed, then you are able to see life differently. It will be more  fun and enjoyable.
