I am past my first year of no contact. The first three months were for me, very difficult. My brain was consumed with him; I had full conversations going constantly in my head. During that time I biked and photographed every day after work. Then one day came that I didn't think about him for the whole day..and from there, things got better and better. My exabf sent me an email on my birthday this month. Exactly one year since no contact. Instead of my heart beating I read it with a lightness I did not think possible, smiled and deleted it. Moving on.
Hugs,
Carrie
