I cannot possibly stress this enough.

Deleting our long text thread was probably one of the hardest things I did. Even harder than dropping off his things. I could no longer ever go back to read our messages or view the photos we sent back and forth. Our whole relationship was chronicled and deleting that thread felt nearly impossible. It felt like erasing our history and that broke my fucking heart.

When I did it, it was like jumping in a cold pool from the high dive. You can’t think about it, you just fucking do it. I cried so hard. I immediately regretted it. And one week later, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt it was by far the absolute best thing I could have possibly done. This one simple act forced me to let go and stop obsessing.

If you haven’t done it yet, take that dive. Don’t think about it, just plug your nose and jump. Right now. Let this message serve as your sign and your motivator to go in and delete it before you have a chance to think it over. I PROMISE you, your future self will thank you. This is a fast-track to healing.
