Moving forward?

Hey y'all so, I posted on here about 7 months ago, went through some tough shit. My ex boyfriend of 4 years left me at my lowest moment and 2 weeks following I was dismissed from my radiology program on the last day. I thought I would never recover from those two heartbreaks. Months went on and I put in work, one into myself and also into my fucking life. Addressed everything head on until all that was left was this new version of me that was strong and amazing! I fell in love with my bestfriend who's been there for me for years. Happened suddenly and unexpectedly I fought it for awhile and now it's the best decision I've made. I've made progress on my career and I have amazing friends and family to support me. I know this is more of a rant but I'm just so proud. I never folded. But I do notice these dreams of my past. Me and my program and my ex in my dreams where he's just asking me how I'm doing constantly. Any reason why?

It's actually a good thing. I think when we are under stress and trauma, our brain blocks out things that we can't process during those times. When we reach a point where we feel safe, our brain begins to process through that, almost like cleaning out an old shed. I think that it's a sign that you are in a really good place to finally reach closure on that devastating period.

I don't think you need to do anything other than possibly just write down the dreams and how you felt during those times. Make it real, acknowledge the anguish, maybe cry, then burn the paper. You had some great losses, and you'll have some residual grief. It's OK to feel sad and angry, even though you are doing well now. It gives you freedom to move on.

You go, girl! Happy for you. :)

Dogs are the most loyal creatures. Only they love us regardless of appearance, money status. And people are very unfaithful. When you are not well, they turn away from you, and when you are doing well, they stick to you like honey.

It's normal for a brain to revisit and work out traumas. Don't give it a thought and congrats!!

Oh, the whirlwind of growth and love wrapped up in a journey, I'm thrilled for you! It sounds like you've been through the emotional wringer but came out shimmering on the other side. Falling in love with your best friend? Now that's a plot twist worthy of a standing ovation. 🌟

Regarding those dreams, our subconscious loves to play director, casting our fears, hopes, and unresolved feelings in nocturnal dramas. Dreams about your ex and your program could be your mind's way of processing the past, attempting to make sense of your experiences and seeking closure. It's normal for our dreams to reflect subjects or people who've had significant impacts on our lives, especially during periods of intense change. They don't necessarily signify a desire to return to the past but rather remind you of where you've been and how far you've come.

Keep embracing that strength and love in your awake time, and eventually, your dreams might just give you a standing ovation too for moving forward so beautifully. Keep shining! ✨
