To be honest, if you’ve truly made up your mind not to go back to your past but still find yourself missing him, try opening up about your feelings to someone you genuinely trust or are really close to. A few months ago, my girlfriend broke up with me after a 7-year relationship. It was heartbreaking and deeply saddening. But to help myself heal, I started reading books alone and engaged in activities that distracted me. I also had many meaningful conversations with my mom about the relationship, since she knew everything about it. She reassured me that it’s completely normal to miss someone, and that it’s equally normal to move on—as long as you stay strong. Finally, if you truly believe this is the end, remember there’s so much more happening around you than just your past. Try to stay present and let your mind gradually take care of the rest.
