People who have survived heartbreak…how’d you do it?
It’s been a week since the person I love told me they realized they don’t love me back after 8 months together, and that they still love their ex from before me. I oscillate between devastated and enraged—both with lots of crying.
If you’ve survived a heartbreak, how did you do it? Were you able to love again? Be happy again? When did it stop hurting so bad? Is there another side to come out on?
Love to all 💓❤️🫶🏻

Take some time to feel your feelings, then take some time to explore. Go find something you've always wanted to do that your ex wasn't interested in, or something you've been curious about. Look for opportunities, maybe volunteer somewhere, if someone invites you to something, say yes if you can, and don't back out. There's a whole world beyond the person who broke your heart and you can go find it.
