How i'm rebuilding my social life after breakup

Author

One of the hardest parts of this breakup has been realizing how much my social life changed during the two years we were together. A lot of the people around me where his friends that also became mine..so now I’m having to rebuild that part of my life from scratch.

Tomorrow I’m going out partying for the first time since the breakup, and I’m actually going with a girl I met through Instagram. We’ve been talking and I really hope we can become friends..feels nice to meet someone new.

It’s a small step, but it feels like I’m slowly getting my life back.

how strange the first night out felt after my breakup, like everyone else knew how to have fun and i had forgotten. i kept showing up anyway, and those little plans slowly became my life again.

are you more excited about going out tomorrow, or does a part of you still feel nervous about stepping into a social life that doesn’t include him?

I was actually really excited, and I’m so glad I went. stepping into a social life that doesn't include him was actually not something i thought about before. I think the hardest part was going to bed afterwards and realizing I was going home alone. And honestly, being in the club and having those moments where I instinctively wanted to kiss someone, because that used to feel so natural with him, hit me harder than I expected.

losing mutual friends after a breakup felt like losing pieces of my old life all over again. day 8 is still so fresh, so seeing you make a new connection like this honestly made me smile
