Sometimes in life, you just have to say, "F*ck it all, I'm doing this anyway."
It's scary and stressful and outside of our comfort zones, but, at least for me, in the long run it has always paid off. Even when my own "f*ck it all" experiences have gone horribly awry, I comforted myself by thinking that at least now I don't have to spend the rest of my life wondering "What if?"
With specific regards to your ex, I often tell myself that my past should not get in the way of my future. Whether the past thing holding me back is a person, a negative experience, or an old habit or belief, I usually try to trample that down and go forth anyway.
I often find that when I do say "f*ck it all", things are not as bad or scary as I thought they were - and even if they are, I still survive! And surviving shit feels GREAT! If you see your ex and have that awkward-but-casual conversation that exes always have, I can almost guarantee that you'll walk away going, "Well, that wasn't awful. I'm tougher than I figured."
As far as everything British reminding you of him, I doubt it. There will probably be so much new and exciting and strange and foreign going on that your brain won't even have energy to go, "Oh, that's like he ____."
Good luck to you, whether you go to London or not. Live bravely! Cheerio!
Thanks for the advice, that's very true. I should fuck it and do it anyway!
Not everything British reminds me of him, because I'm English myself, just live 6 hours away from London. So not all bad.
Is it normal I feel like I can't relocate because of my ex?
