You should always be appreciative of your dear ex. Yes! Those who you were in a closed or an intimate relationship with yet life expansions made you apart.

Dear friend, if you don’t know — it’s people from your past who help you see life from a different perspective and push that growth inside you.

They are the ones who helped you grow and now you know for sure that — you can’t get it wrong and you will never get it done.

So, it doesn’t matter how things are; there is always something better coming as to live is to be in an ending life’s journey — always in the process of becoming — so, does more yet to come.

Whether it be a a boyfriend or a girlfriend: a wife or a husband. A coworker, a friend, or just a stranger — there’s always value in meeting someone, doing whatever that you have done with them or just interacting with them.

Do you know why?

Well! They help you become more of who you truly are today.

Remember you had a lot of fears. Lots of self-doubt. Lots of self-limiting beliefs.

You weren't even clear on what you truly wanted or didn't want.

You didn’t even know what was your favorite restaurant, food, clothes, or the best outfit that you could put on – to get that look.

It’s them who helped you grow through life and understand the value of your worthiness — the truth of your life experience and now you are living it.

Your dear ex (’s) help you grow and put a more solid vision to your future desires.

It’s that person who pushed that growth inside you without your readiness and now you are living that which you truly desire.

Your dear ex (’s) help you love and appreciate that which is of value to you and embrace that which you want and feel without fear.

He/she is the one who helps you see life from a different perspective and knows for sure that you can’t get it wrong and you will never get it done and it doesn’t matter how things are there is always something better coming as life is an ending journey – it’s always in the process of becoming.

Your dear ex (’s) truly help you realize that on this planet Earth there are no accidents and that things always happen for a reason and if it’s an end — clearly, there’s a new beginning coming soon.

Your dear exes are your best teachers; and if you learn to appreciate each and every moment that you had with them instead of complaining, blaming, and finger-pointing them for that which they did to you..

..then you will always understand the value of that which happened between the two of you of which its that which you asked from life.

You will always appreciate that you had that kind of relationship with them.

You will always appreciate that which they did to you and say thank you for the magnificent expansion that they forced in you.

I also understand in your humanness term you can call those things betrayals, bad experiences, you can say ‘it sucks’… yet, in reality, they help you become more of that which you are now — they help you become more of that which you truly are today.

And guess what? That’s true growth!

Not only in your new relationship but also with the life experience in general – that which you are living now; with the people that you are interacting with and the things that you are doing.

Dear friend,

I encourage you to always love and appreciate those who wrestle you to the ground, those who broke your heart..

..because the moment they were doing that — they weren’t killing you yet they were helping you grow and become that which you always intend to become — the best version of yourself.

Happy Valentine! ♥️

Love,

Gilda :)
