A heavy topic but a necessary one. How do you know when it is time to move on? When are you ready to move on?

This roller coaster journey may result in you feeling upset over the smallest things. There are also times whereby you thought it may trigger your emotions, but it did not. As you get through day by day, it gets better. The waves gets smaller and you feel less emotional and affected. This indicates whether you are ready and slowly progressing. Of course, there are times when a big tsunami wave hits you and you are back to square 1, feeling all beaten up.

Know that this is life and this is how you emerged stronger. Things happen and you will feel better as time goes.

As the saying goes, “Time will heal all wounds”, it did not resonate well with me. However, I have to agree that “Time WILL make it better”. It is crucial to get proper closure on what had happened. Talk to a professional like a counselor if you need to. Otherwise, as times goes by, you might behave differently and face issues that you did not encounter before the incident. Such scenarios can build up over the years and would only surfaced years later.

Until you get a proper closure, you can never really move on.

How do you justify ready to move on? For me, I will say that I am ready to talk about the issues I faced and relooked at it. Don’t misunderstand me, it does not mean that you are not affected by it. However, it means that you are able to relate to it in a logical manner. Of course, you might be still upset about it.

So, are you ready to move on?

Well, it all depends on yourself, some are able to move on quickly. Some need more time and my advice is not to rush yourself through it. Everyone deals with it differently. What matters is you deal with your emotions and receive the necessary closure for you to move on not just for the sake of it but rather to face life (adversity) positively still.

Your Sincerely,

Felicia
