I had a friend who broke up with his girlfriend. He told me that he moved on, but whenever I met him, the topic of his girlfriend would always come up in conversation, like every single time. After a while, I felt disinclined to meet up with him because he’d either always rant about her or go on about what she was doing. I told him that he hadn’t moved on, but he didn’t believe me.
This fellow's wise enough to play the fool,
And to do that well craves a kind of wit.
He must observe their mood on whom he jests,
The quality of persons, and the time,
And, like the haggard, check at every feather
That comes before his eyes. This is a practice
As full of labour as a wise man's art.
For folly that he wisely shows is fit;
But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit.

At object at rest remains at rest; an object in motion remains so — these do not change unless an external force acts upon such objects.
Humans have got a lot of mental inertia… :)

we say we move on when we haven’t because that’s part of the healing process. if we say it enough times maybe eventually it comes true. and it does, it just takes a lot more time than we think it will. be patient, he needs to know you’re listening even if it seems he’s not entirely rational about it. that’s what love does to you sometimes (oftentimes haha).
