Out of Site out of Mind
First of all, it’s impossible to forget something that you stare at all day. If you want to move on, but you simultaneously spend hours checking up on what your ex is doing, scrutinizing his every move and studying the people he is spending his time with, you’re setting yourself up to fail. Just as you need physical space so you can learn to exist without your ex, you also need digital space.
