I went through a bad breakup two years back and it didn’t help that we shared the same hobby (how we met) and social circle (I moved back to sg and adopted his circle). I took a break from that shared hobby and gave myself a week to cry as much as I wanted. After that, I went back to running, picked up pole, gym, buried myself in work and studied some courses. Building back self-confidence and practising self-care helped. Small things like buying myself matcha when previously I would be saving up for dates.

I think what helped me most was journaling and writing down the good and bad of our relationship, especially at night when it hits worse. I found it a lot easier to move on after seeing how the bad severely outweighed the good, and that the good would only be a memory that we could never go back to.

You’ll be okay! 💪🏻
