For months now I wanted to break off things with my boyfriend for multiple reasons I won’t go into here. It was my biggest source of anxiety for the past months. I did not want to hurt him and I wanted to make things work despite everything that I saw wrong in the relationship. The anxiety was at times paralyzing. Texting him, calling him, seeing him felt like a chore and I would come back from it more anxious than ever, to the point I would cry and lose sleep over it. 

But I broke up with him today. And I did it the right way too. Face to face, as nice as possible but straight to the facts and I got everything off my chest. I didn’t let anxiety make me doubt my decision, and my heart feels at peace for the first time in months. 

I wanted to share that for everyone who has to take a hard decision, no matter what it’s about. The right decision can make you feel sad and anxious before you’ve taken it. But once you take that step, your mind will thank you, your heart will thank you, your body will thank you. You’ll win the fight too, as I have this time.
