How to deal with a break-up

I've been through a break-up recently. It's been a relationship that lasted for almost a year and a half.

At first it felt like my world was ending and I would never be able to recover. I felt like she was the only girl on this planet and nobody else could ever take her place.

After about a week, I started seeing things more broadly. I started to realize that no, it is not the end of the world, and I was starting to feel happier being single.

Next I started taking better care of myself. I started going to the gym and little by little I became able to like and appreciate myself like I never did before. Shortly after, I discovered that talking to other girls is not difficult at all, and that I have a much better time hanging out with other girls than I did with my ex-girlfriend.

Three months later, here I am. I am getting gains at the gym, I am talking with a lot of new people and I reach the point in which I feel nothing when I think of my ex-girlfriend.

I discovered my worth and I realized that I deserved more than what she was offering me. I opened my eyes and seen that the relationship I had was toxic to me and it was impeding me from developing myself.

If you are experiencing a break-up and are feeling lost, it's okay. Suffering is fine. Just don't suffer more than you have to. Pick yourself up, take better care of yourself. Become better for yourself and you will be happier than before.

Don't let a person get between you and self development.

Love yourself.
