You're not missing them.

1 week agoEdited to

... Read moreWhen going through heartbreak, it’s common to find yourself drawn back to memories of the relationship, especially the highs that felt so good at the time. The brain naturally wants to protect you by filtering out the painful experiences and replaying only the positive moments, making you question if you truly miss the person or just the feeling of who you were during that time. From my personal experience, this illusion can make it extremely hard to move on. I found myself repeatedly revisiting old conversations and photos, convincing myself I missed them deeply. However, over time, I came to understand that what I really missed was the version of myself who was hopeful and connected, not the person who endured the heartbreak and disappointment. Acknowledging this distinction—missing your past self rather than the other person—was a crucial step in healing. It allowed me to focus on rebuilding my self-respect and learning how to let go of what no longer served me. Healing isn’t linear; it involves embracing the pain, forgiving yourself for the attachment, and gradually rediscovering your worth outside of the relationship. If you recognize yourself in this, remember that it’s okay to grieve not only the loss of a person but also the loss of your past identity. With time and self-care, you can heal those wounds and evolve into an even stronger version of yourself. This journey is about reclaiming your power and moving forward with self-respect and hope for the future.

The image features a fanned-out stack of hundred-dollar bills with the overlay text 'TAX WRITE-OFFS YOU SHOULD BE CLAIMING', introducing the topic of tax deductions.
This image defines a tax write-off as an expense reducing taxable income, explaining what qualifies (work/financial well-being) and what doesn't (personal expenses), with examples like a work phone bill versus a gaming laptop.
The image highlights that tax deductions apply to W-2 employees, self-employed individuals, homeowners/renters, students, and parents, advising to consult a tax professional for maximization.

A woman performs a hip thrust exercise in a gym, using a barbell with weights and a bench. Text overlays ask "HIP THRUST form ques! are you doing this exercise right?" with decorative pink hearts.
A gym setup for hip thrusts, showing a barbell with weights, a barbell pad, and a bench. Labels point to "Weights," "Barbell pad," and "Bench" for proper exercise preparation.
A woman is positioned for a hip thrust, with a barbell centered on her hips and shoulder blades resting on the bench. Text indicates "bar on hips & centered," "shoulder blades on bench," and "Feet shoulder width apart."
are you missing out on gains from improper form?
The hip thrust is an exercise you can't be skipping if you are trying to grow your glutes and get a juicy booty. Just like any other exercise, if you're performing the movement wrong, you may not be getting the most out of the exercise which could be hindering your progress and results.
