It gets better :)

Just wanted to remind everyone that it gets better. Time and distance really does heal all. Those first few weeks and months are the hardest but they’ll give you clarity. You’ll start to reconnect with yourself and your individuality again . You’ll strengthen friendships and make new bonds. Pick up new hobbies and find happiness in random things again. Eventually you’ll date again and the idea won’t seem so foreign anymore. This person won’t be your ex, they might not even be similar. They’ll be different and that may just be exactly what you need.

Thats just a run down of my break up. I struggled so much in the beginning worried if i made the right choice, if i would find someone again blah blah. I was miserable and had never felt heartbreak before, it was such a tiring experience. I slipped up, nearly fell back several times but making the firm decision to go separate ways was one of the best choices of my life. I’ve prioritized my friendships and become more social. I am happier and friendlier and more outgoing than i’ve ever been. I feel like my relationship sucked the life out of me and that i put so much energy into my ex and not into my own life. Its interesting i didn’t realize that until recently. It is so refreshing to be myself again and flourish. This breakup has let me do so much. Out of dumb luck I met someone who compliments me like my ex really never could. I never realized how incompatible we were until i gave myself the space to think clearly and heal on my own. I am super excited for this new chapter of my life and the breakup was exactly what i needed to start it. Sending out a hopeful message to anyone reading. Things get better :) there’s so much opportunity out there
