Broken hearts are inevitable, but that doesn't make them any more bearable. Whether the breakup was mutual or one-sided, losing someone that you thought was special hurts. It just sucks. Personally, I've had one monumental breakup and the heartbreak altered me (for the better, but still, I've changed).
Therefore, surrounding yourself with friends is essential during this tumultuous time as they provide support, love, and give the best of the best mom-advice.
You are beautiful
Genuine compliments go a long way. Sometimes you need to hear it from others before you begin to believe and say it yourself.
It wasn't meant to be
There's a reason you weren't meant to be together and there's no way around it except acceptance.
Surround yourself with positives
There's nothing wrong with feeling lonely and moping around from time to time, but, in general, make sure to experience good vibes and positive juju by encircling yourself with happy people and joyful opportunities.
There's someone else out there for you
It's hard to hear, especially when you cared for one specific individual, but, one day, you will find your person.
We need some Adele
Grab a glass of wine, snuggle on the couch, and prepare for the emotions to flow.
Let's find some puppies
Puppies! Tons of puppies! There is no way you can be wholly sad when you have puppies jumping all over you. Pet therapy is a true and tested method that is bound to help you crack a smile.
Let's point out everything that was wrong with your ex
Until you finally realize that they're not worth all this angst.
Rant on and on and on
Just continue into a tirade about them or life or whatever you need. Letting it all out helps and being angry is okay.
Focus on loving yourself before depending on others for love
Being content with your own independence can be a struggle, but it's worth it in the end.
Distract distract distract
Stay busy! Do all the things you never had time to do and fully immerse yourself in them.
Blessing in disguise
In some ways your life will change, but you don't have to be afraid, it only gets better from here.
Take this time to be selfish
Prioritize yourself: do what's best for you! If you have to block your ex to move on, by all means, go for it! Delete everything. I mean everything: from pictures and videos to anything on social media.
You deserve all the love in the world and to be treated right
There is someone out there who will treat you the way you deserve to be taken care of, and you will find one another.
Every emotion was and is valid
Every emotion you feel now and every and any feeling you felt during your relationship is and was true. It may not have ended well, but that doesn't mean you didn't have happy moments. No one is denying that.
Stand tall, but cry if you need to
You have everything you need to be confident, but there's nothing wrong with letting your feelings out and having a healthy crying session. Even if the breakup was for the best, it's okay to take your needed time to grieve.
Time to snuggle and watch funny videos
Laughing is the best medicine, so grab a blanket, get comfortable, and watch a comedy or some hilarious YouTube videos.
Post breakup glow-ups are real
Focus on developing yourself as an individual and, trust me, it will all come together.
