I found out that by time it's becoming easier to press delete.
Be it photos on the phone that used to mean something at some point to people that crossed my path and consumed a lot of my time.
I no longer hesitate to delete things on the calendar that I now find meaningless or deleting phone numbers.
I think I even reached a new higher level that during a conversation with a whiny person, I delete this conversation on the spot.
Insensitive? Maybe. Blocking? Could be. But it seems to be working for me. Gives space for new things to learn or new dreams to chase. Gives space for me.

I can't delete, still haven't deleted the 400+ messages between me and my ex. I don't think I've ever deleted a phone number either
@sarahgamal I know 😔.....I'm closer now to letting go then I was a month ago 😌....it's hard when it's the only thing I have to show for my first and only relationship
@sarahgamal 29....I always kept myself away from any situation with girls/women, this past year it all came out of absolutely nowhere...that's probably why it hit so hard
@patdolan83 don't chase love. Love will find you. That's why you fall in love. In the mean time I think u have to delete to give space for new love to come ur way
@patdolan83 I realize that might sound really simple or boring. Write a good piece to messages and all the memories and delete
@sarahgamal This is brilliant! I shall do more deleting. It's true you need to make space for the new. Also, get the energy flowing. Too much hanging on causes stuck energy which causes all sorts of problems you really do not want. ✨🌟✨🌟
