But the thing that helped me out the most was getting a crush on a girl.
I did the same thing only with a guy Having those flutters helps you push forward.
This forum does help a lot because you learn how universal what you're feeling is. It puts it in perspective as something that everyone goes thru so it must have an end point.
I deleted my facebook profile for now. It keeps away all the photos and temptations of seeing what your ex is doing, and it forced me to get out and actually socialize instead of depending on cyber consolation. Most importantly I allow it to hurt sometimes. Breaking up sucks. It's painful. It's ok to cry and be angry and grieve. But after I let that happen then I go find something that makes me happy like watching saturday night live clips.
It's been four months now, and it's getting easier. The time it needs to hurt is getting less, and the time I spend being happy is getting to be more.
Ted, how do I explain this to you. Last night, I ate the best cake of my life. Do you think I'm gonna let that cake out of my life? Hell no. I'm gonna find out what bakery made that cake and I'm gonna get some more cake.
