Why i finally started smiling again post-breakup

Author

Lil more than 3 weeks post break up and 11 days NC. I went out with my friends today to watch a movie (the like field cinema stuff) that I was literally raised on because my mom was obsessed with it and non of my girls saw it and for the first time since the break up I felt my sparkle totally being back. We were laughing, singing and at the end even dancing and it was amazing. I know that I won't feel like this everyday, at least not yet but to feel fully myself again is amazing. It gave me a lot of hope and my friends are helping me see that I deserve so much without even realising it, they make me feel so much better by just being my friends and accepting me and letting me be fully myself. I low-key don't want to go to sleep because I haven't smiled like that in a while and I just want to sit in my happiness but I have work tomorrow and it's late. Anyway - keep hoping, your sparkle will come back and you'll feel like yourself again. Surround yourself with good people and let them in.

the first night after my breakup where i laughed so hard with my friends that i forgot to check my phone for him. that tiny moment felt HUGE. your sparkle coming back is such a real feeling.

one thing that helped me was paying attention to those random good nights instead of chasing them every day. slowly they started happening more often and one day i realized i wasn’t surviving anymore, i was living again.

was there a moment tonight where you caught yourself not thinking about the breakup at all? those little accidental moments of peace used to surprise me the most.
