True words of wisdom from H4H.

To me, getting over a relationship is mostly about getting past the hurt to be able to look back and see the good stuff again, but as part of your history, not something you are trying unsuccessfully to re-live.

I still care about some of my exes...and yeah, it took a while to stop feeling hurt by the way things ended... but it's not like I'm pining away wishing we were still together; I think of the relationships as part of what has made me who I am now, and with every relationship that doesn't work out, you are that much closer to finding what you really need in a partner.
