Moving On

Society has many ideas about the concept of moving on from a past relationship. I have seen ideas that it takes half the time of your relationship to successfully move on. I've heard that you need to wait six months before being interested in someone else if you had dated for over a year. I've heard that you need to wait until someone else asks you on a date (that's total bullshit). So many people feel as though they have a right to tell you when you are ready to move on without ever understanding your relationship or you for that matter. I'm here to tell you that no one, literally ever, has any right to tell you how to feel and when you can move on. If you happen to find someone who makes you happy a week after your breakup, so what? It's your life and I'm really f*&@ing tired of people thinking they have a right to tell you what to do or to judge you for your choices. I moved on three weeks after my breakup with someone who I was with for almost a year and half. Guess what? I am happier now that I have been in a long time and I am so grateful that I decided to say screw you to society and the a-holes around me and did what felt right.
