I know it hurts to think about it at all, but if you're in a daze about him at least think rationally. If he was the one, you would still

be together. It didn't work out, and hoping to get back together will hurt you more than help you. Work on yourself for now, don't waste your time with someone who

has no intentions on staying.

Give yourself a pat on the back. You existed before him, and you will exist after him. You got through that one time you thought your world was falling apart.

Trust in your strength, and wait for that new door to open. Yay for new beginnings! "Better days are on the way" and closer than you may think.

Spoiler alert: It wasn't going to work out, one-way loves never do. Don't be angry about something that had no future. Don't think about the what if's and maybe's, don't worry

about the silences. Thank fate and destiny for ending this relationship, because now you can finally find someone who was worth you all along. Once you make peace with the break

up, you will feel so much stronger. 

It's easy to sugarcoat the relationship when reflecting back on it, but don't forget the nights you spent crying and angry about his lack of involvement in your life. Or

when he said no to meeting your parents. Or when he gave up on you. Give yourself closure, don't ask him for anything more; he was always pretty selfish. You're good.

Since when did you need a guy to make you feel important?  This was a break up with your past, now make the future amazing. Thank him for this new

chance at happiness.

Sure, you can scroll through old pictures and old texts from "better days" but it will take you down an unnecessary rabbit hole. It sucks that you both are not

together anymore, but dwelling on a lost connection will prevent you from making a new one. Look up, walk forward, and see how far you get.  

Self love, baby. Self love. Being in the business of "fixing" a boy who won't give you time, emotions, or energy is truly exhausting. At the end, being unable to change

him was not your fault, he just never wanted to be better. Instead of beating yourself up over the boy that will stay broken, throw out your super glue and

spend time on making yourself whole again.

Take the attitude he gave you, and give it right back to him. At the end of the day he's the one that lost the girl who gave a crap.

All you lost was an emotionally unavailable psycho. You never needed him!

I'm sorry you are in pain right now, truly. Words don't help, ice cream doesn't help, even cuddles from your pup don't help. But as your in pain, remind yourself

that becoming numb and unemotional will make you no better than the boy that broke your heart. It's fine if you're hurting, just don't let it define you.

Heal for yourself. Think about his inevitable return, and think about how good it will feel to crush him. Give him a couple months, he'll drunk text you. Imagine how amazing it

will feel to truly not care, not respond, and be better. There is nothing more liberating than being freed from your heartbroken state.
