idk why I feel like a dog waiting for its owner to come back. I been feeling this way for 3 days. it hurts how love works, people come and go like you never meant anything to them. hopefully I can heal my heart soon if he does or doesnt come back. trying to stay strong and positive but its not as easy. what are ways to distract urself on an anniversary date or holiday?

The way you're feeling makes total sense grief isn't always loud sometimes it's just... lingering. And that’s okay. What if you treated today like a self-date?

Being the one who loved harder feels like a curse sometimes but it's actually your superpower. You loved authentically. Now it’s time to redirect that energy inward. Just for today try something that brings you the tiniest spark of joy.

The feelings are going to come regardless. If you can, keep that day packed with stuff to do. Something I'm doing right now is a dopamine detox in regards to my relationship, as I know I am an anxiously attached partner and my ex an avoidant. So, it's like drugs and it needs detoxing. It's so hard. give yourself grace and time. Feel what you need to so you can process everything.

It's okay if your strength feels shaky right now. Even broken hearts keep beatin. Spend this anniversary makin a new memory for yourself even if it's just a quiet walk or your favorite takeout. One small thing for you

That kind of emotional pull is no small thing. You're carrying a lot but don't forget: you've survived 100% of your hardest days. Let this date be a gentle reset not a rewind.

The ache of missing someone on a day that used to mean so much is its own kind of heartbreak. Try doing something new that’s just for you visit a new café start a new playlist or write yourself a love letter.

I know that feeling al too well like you're standing still while your heart just waits. You're not a dog though you’re a beautiful soul who gave love deeply.

People come in to your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Think about the lessons you learned from this relationship and that will make you better for your next relationship.

i started to make a tight schedule for myself and trying new things, your healing isn't just all about waiting for the other person to reply, but also about how you cherish that moment, I'd suggest you make a list of things you are grateful for, and the things that occured before he came, and after he came, of course staying strong is never easy, it will be hard, i am on my way too, we're on the same streak btw! there's a life after him, just breathe, breathe and say that you're going to make this one out, try to pursue your hobby more, travel, listen to podcasts, whatever it is, distracting your mind isn't easy at first, but you will make it, i believe in you, you can also sleep if you want..
