For whoever needs it:
How do you break up with your SO? Count backwards from five and do it. Stop waiting for the right time. Stop overthinking it, your instincts are correct. You won’t regret it. Go live your life bitch

Every minute you put it off is another minute you delay your own happiness and also theirs, because if this relationship isn’t for you, then it’s not for them either. Rip the bandaid off. Literally count backwards from five and say “I am breaking up with you”

I put off breaking up with my ex for at least a year. If I was honest with myself, I knew even a year before that. I’d think “I know this won’t be the only major relationship in my young adult life, but it’s good enough for now.” The instinct was there, I just ignored it

You can’t have better things until you stop accepting “good enough.” Raise your standards bitch. Stop trying to fix it, it’s not worth it. Don’t waste time

Stop justifying staying. In a good relationship, you don’t have to justify staying. You don’t even think about “staying,” because you don’t think about leaving.

I believe the universe rewards you for doing what is right for you. Or at the very least, when you follow your gut you become available to more and more things that bring you happiness and serve your life’s purpose

You know you want to end it. So do it. And what happens next? You’ll be closer to happiness, even if it sucks at first
