Someone once asked...

“So lately I've been having a lot of thoughts about my past. U see my ex kinda cheated on me, did things behind my back and one random day decided to end everything and date another girl. Bought that girl near college just to show off (idk why but it was very evident). I'm over it, it disgusts me and it just very annoying to see him in campus every now and then. But I just move past like i ignore his whole existence. It's been 9 months since it happened, and I'm even dating a new person whos just soooo fucking perfect. But idk why these memories from past just come out of nowhere sometimes. i dated him for 2.5 years tho”

It's a part of life. You don't forget them. You just get used to with it, accept it. Memories will come back in relevant events, you need to not act on that and with time the intensity and details of those memories will fade.

"why these memories from past just come out of nowhere sometimes"- bro that guy literally cheated on you, but still if you have a soft corner towards him , sorry you are _insert bad words here_ . i hope you don't ruin this new guy's life , if you are 100% serious then only move forward -still you didnt moved on ig ,thats why you are still obsessed and having strong feeling towards your ex,noticing him and all. -'kinda cheated' ? cheating is cheating don't justify , no 2nd chance

it is because you're mind cant let go of a person you used to love , it is still in the past not letting you completely let go of the person , as time will move on so will you be with the new guy explore places , do your hobbies , your mind will heal but it will take time
