Why can't i move on from this situationship?

Author

for the last five years i’ve been stuck in this weird in-between situation with a guy i cared deeply about. we never officially became anything serious but we spent so much time together. mostly just hanging out at his place talking for hours listening to music and having this physical connection that kept pulling us back to each other. i accepted that dynamic for a long time because i genuinely loved him and always hoped it would eventually turn into something more.
what made it harder is that we grew up in the same town and had all these random connections throughout our lives so part of me really believed maybe we were supposed to end up together someday.
but recently he met someone else and decided to move on from whatever this was between us. ever since then i’ve been struggling badly. i can’t sleep properly i keep checking his socials even though i know it only hurts me more and honestly i just feel numb most of the time. it feels like i’m losing someone i held onto emotionally for years even if we were never fully together.
right now i just need something to hold onto. advice hope a quote anything that helps people get through this kind of grief because i genuinely feel like i’m falling apart.

People come and go for a season of our lives.

Stay strong, hang in there. Try and find new friends? or new hobbies. Get back into old hobbies. maybe go for a walk. you need to fill your time with something that helps distract you a little.

I'm sorry to hear you're going through this. right now everything is fresh and raw and it feels terrible. the beginning of it all is the worst, i won't lie to you. some days will be hard but, there is always tomorrow and there will always be people/things that will make you happy. understand that he was not your whole world, he was just part of it.
