Relationships

Hey - sorry to hear you're going through this, it can be really tough 💔

It's important to remember that closure is something you can give yourself, and it doesn't have to come from your ex. It might be helpful to write down your feelings in a letter, even if you don't send it, to help you process your emotions. You could also try talking to a trusted friend or family member about how you're feeling. luna has some more ideas for getting your through this difficult time linked below.

It's totally normal to miss your ex, especially if you were together for a long time, but it's also important to take care of yourself and focus on your own happiness separate from them. Try to spend time doing things you enjoy, and surround yourself with people who make you feel good about yourself 💕 You deserve to be happy, and you will find someone who makes you feel that way again ❤️
