A year ago on July 20, 2016 my ex and I decided to breakup. It ended up being kinda mutual but he was the one to bring it up first. There was no stopping it, but I had the thought that we would be getting back together and so did he or at least I thought he did. Long story short, he got a new girlfriend and we quit speaking. After almost two years of him being in my life he was gone and I had to learn to live without him and here is a list of the things I learned.
Cry. A lot.
It’s okay to be sad.
Keep your head held high.
Ignore them. My ex and I went to the same school so less then a month after our breakup we had to go back and walk those same halls.
Find your true friends.
Talk to other people.
You will be okay.
Its okay to still love them, but don’t let those feelings control you.
You don’t have to move on right away.
Branch out and do things that make you happy.
Make new friends
Go on adventures
You will be happy again.
Work on yourself, for yourself.
Don’t rush into a new relationship
Find your heat.
And the list continues to grow as everyday brings a new situation.
