You can’t change the past, but your future is in your hands.
To be successful at anything, whether it’s playing an instrument or becoming President of the United States, there are always lessons learned on the way.
You need to take the lessons, apply them to the new improved you and strive to become the best possible version of yourself.
A lot of men do this after they realize what they’ve lost.
They start partying up a storm and thinking they’re going to get away with it. They start neglecting their work, friends, and family and live for the weekend.
Although it’s a temporary fix, this is not a healthy nor constructive method to heal.
Too much partying can lead you down a very dark path and can have serious consequences. So, even though you might want to party hard every night. Don’t.
Once you slow the party animal in you down, sadly, another said realization hits – you know exactly why you’re partying.
Because you’re trying to fill the void and are trying to escape from the pain of losing a good woman.
Once you lose someone who thought the world of you, suddenly you begin seeing the light.
All those things she used to nag you about, whether it be overworking, drinking too much, spending too much time playing Xbox suddenly start to make sense to you.
There was a reason why she nagged and it wasn’t simply to kill your vibe.

You start realizing that these things are not as important as you once thought and you can see that too much of this behavior isn’t good for you.
So, you start making improvements. You stop your workaholic behavior, cut back on the booze, and start doing things that make you feel good.
You’re eating healthy, you’re sleeping better and you’re doing more things that bring you fulfillment.
As mentioned earlier, sometimes the lesson learned is what we needed.
It might be cold comfort to hear but even though you’ve lost her, you’ve managed to open your eyes and see where you’ve erred.
This can only be a good thing for you.
These lessons can be carried into your next relationships so that you don’t end up making the same mistake again.
Once you realize what you’ve lost, it’s time to move on.
You start realizing how much time you wasted trying to win her back, or how much time and energy she wasted doing the same with you.
This can be a painful realization, but it’s an important one.
The truth is that relationships are not about winning or losing.
It’s about being with someone who does make you happy. It’s about sharing the ups and downs of life together.

If she was a good person who made your life better then this isn’t something to feel bad about, but if she was a bad person who did nothing but drains your energy and open your eyes to the pain of her leaving, then you have to look at why you made this mistake.
Perhaps the biggest realization is one that you might not want to admit out loud but can’t help but accept.
You realize that she’s was actually worth it.
You realize that what you had with her was worth the emotional turmoil and wasted time and effort.
You realize that when she left, all those things she’d done to hurt you suddenly make sense. You see how much of a chump you were and how much of a victim you made you feel.
That’s why all those things bothered you and annoyed her so much. She was a good girl.
Relationships are messy, frustrating, and complicated. When we’re in them the only thing we can do is hope for the best.
It can be hard to see that you’ve made a mistake when it’s too late, but sometimes it’s better to see things for what they really are than to let yourself get sucked in all over again.
More importantly, you haven’t yet met the one.
Look after yourself, learn from the pain and be sure to hold onto a good lady when she comes around!
