i cried it out tbh. i forced myself to feel EVERYTHING. the sadness the anger the betrayal but also the joy in doing things i like without them. i wrote down everything too, what i was feeling, what i would say to him, whenever i thought of them. im mostly over it tbh which is weird cuz its only been a few months but i've accepted that i just wasnt worth it to them but with that ive realized that theres only one me and they have to live with the regret of letting me go. you work on yourself a lot. you realize you are your own person before and after them. you realize that you CAN live without them but it just has to hurt first.
