Breakups can be an absolutely heart-wrenching place to be in. All the ups and downs, dark days, lonely nights where it all comes back again, all these feelings… it gets the best of us. Here are 33 quotes for you to gain perspective, get over him and decide that you deserve to heal!
1. Breakups don’t just happen. There was a conversation. An agreement. A finality. And it stemmed from one or two unresolved problems.
If your relationship ended recently, I need you to remember: It didn’t just happen. There was an exact moment when your partner actively decided to end things with you. There were some non-negotiables and he didn’t want to try to make it work.
2. If you’re brave enough to say goodbye, life will reward you with a new hello- Paulo Coelho

Letting go can be difficult. But it is worth all the effort.
3. Do not beg for what does not want to stay
4. Don’t cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it
My clients in the coaching program always tell me they ignored red flags and kept compromising, only because they were so involved in the relationship. They were invested, emotionally, physically, mentally.
