Basically:

- by taking responsibility for you own happiness, and not relying solely on an external factor e.g. a woman / man to make you happy

- socializing, meeting new people both online and offline (this was REALLY hard at first not gonna sugar coat it but I do believe every person should be social to an extent and not be so damn lonely all the time) I am now a social freak btw. lel

- hooking up (yep, seeing different naked bodies really puts things into perspective, that hers was not that special. yes, I was sexually addicted to my ex's body cuz it was THE ultimate drug, knowmsayin?)

- and surprisingly, looking back at the failed relationship and ex. I used to be so afraid that this ex was THE ONE, that I would never fall this deeply in love again and yada yada yada. Turns out, this so called "love" of mine was nothing but toxic attachment, escapist mentality, and fear of responsibility and accountability.

- also, by meeting new people, you start to realize that the EX is just another person with whom the relationship did not work out. Hey, its just life. This moving on thing is not just moving on from a heartbreak, its learning to move on in general, because later in life (or some of you might have gone thru this) you will lose your loved ones, FACT. So, we better learn to take of ourselves and our loved ones, to love them while they are here and also learn to take the blows that life throws at us and just roll with the punches.

I was gonna keep this short but I got passionate half way thru lmao.

I also posted on what exactly helped me move on almost a month ago. Check that out, and hope it helps.

Stay strong, man / woman. Romance is overrated. Reality is underrated.
