I've been thinking about this for a little while now.
Those moments, places or things that are tangibly and inextricably linked to an ex and bring back those bitter sweet memories of things done and gone.
How do people go back or reclaim them? Do you leave them alone and avoid them?
Is it easy for people to just move on? |

For those with depth of feeling I put them aside and let time soften the edges, then remember them for what they were..
For those with nothing positive remaining I take back the moments with ease and give them no further headspace. |

I try to live my life, including those things that resonate, to the fullest. I find in time that newer vivid memories overwrite the older, sometimes more painful memories. Sometimes - not always in the context of old relationships - I consciously write over old bad experiences and prevail over them. Recovering from a fear or an injury, for example. |

We’ve had that a lot in the past few years, sometimes some places or things are too emotional to revisit but will get less so, other than that we try to make new memories. X |

As Ragnar Lothbroek said “don’t look back, you are not going that way”, I don’t look back, I can chat with my lads about their dad and things we did when they were younger but it doesn’t give me a pang or a feeling of regret for ending our marriage. Same goes for past relationships, they ended for a reason, yes songs or places might bring memories to mind but they are what they are. |

I strangely had one such moment yesterday when I was pumping my brake pedal as my ex bled my brakes for me.
It was something we used to do quite a lot back in the day, plus passing him spanner’s etc. He used to be a mechanic.
I am lucky there’s no animosity between us so it’s easier to look back fondly. I haven’t forgotten the awful stuff that happened between us. I have just learnt from it and moved on. |

I just embrace them. I have no bad memories from exes. At one point they were who I wanted and the good times outweigh the bad.
I get far more nostalgic from smells and music that remind me of my youth and of family I have lost. |

What do you mean reclaim them? Trying to make them positive instead of negative? |
