“Love will end. But experiences will remain” (anonymous)

Many a times, after a break up, what remains and hurts is the memory of the other person. What lingers in your mind will be those happy times spent together with him/her, the new things he/she has taught you, the experiences both of you shared. You may feel sad that all those have become a thing of the past and hope that you canl go back to the time when love is at its peak! You may also think that what you have left now is a broken and failed relationship and that you are failure in life.

However, not every broken relationship is a negative one. In fact, there are a lot of positive things that you can gather from it.

Remember how you managed to learn roller blading only after your 1st boyfriend taught you how. Remember how your partner motivated you to strive for the best in yourself and you managed to get excellent results after that. Remember how your first love taught a “square” person like you how to kiss another person. All these, though memories to you now, have definitely shaped you to become a better person.

Even though your love with a particular person has ended, the positive experiences you have gathered will always remain. Rather than feeling depressed over lost love, bring over these positive learnings into your next relationship. By doing so, you will realise that every relationship is always better than the previous one.
