Accept that life’s pace of change may not match your own, acknowledging that people evolve and may no longer reflect who they once were in your life. Rather than missing the individual, recognize that it’s often the feelings and experiences associated with them that you long for. Understand that some people are meant to reside in your heart without physically being part of your life. If someone has chosen to leave, accept that their absence is a choice and not a reflection of your worth. Focus on what you have now rather than what is lost, and embrace the future with hope. This process may be painful, as the desire to hold on to the past can hinder your ability to let go, yet it is essential to move on from those who have moved on from you.
