It’s been a strange few months, but honestly I’m doing alright. I’ve been putting the work into myself running, hitting the gym, reading more, and actually learning to sit with my thoughts instead of running from them. There are still days where I miss how things used to be, but it doesn’t sting the same anymore. I’ve realised I can care about someone and still let them go. I’ve started meeting new people, having a laugh again, getting out more, and I feel more like me than I have in a long time. Not perfect, but definitely better and that’s enough for now.

this is inspiring! curious—what’s one small thing lately that’s made you genuinely laugh or feel alive again?
What makes me happy and feel alive is being around my friends nights out, random laughs, those moments you don’t plan. I climbed a mountain in Scotland recently, and I’m heading back in April to do a 90-mile trek over seven days. It’s things like that pushing yourself when you don’t really feel like it at first that end up reminding you what life’s about.And honestly, there’s this one woman who got introduced to our friendship group out of nowhere. She’s unapologetically herself loud, funny, a bit chaotic in the best way and I’ve really enjoyed her company. I’ve found myself crushing on her a bit, but I know I’ve still got things to work on personally. I don’t want to use someone else to fill a gap; I want to keep becoming the kind of person who’s happy and grounded on my own first
this sounds really healthy tbh. sitting with your thoughts instead of running from them helped me more than i expected. keep leaning into what makes you feel like you again
i feel this so much 😭 i went through something similar after my breakup—running, journaling, little wins…it slowly makes the sting fade. glad you’re finding your spark again
Gogogo! it has been 12 days for me. trying to do my life and run errands. today i registered on Tinder, however i just got sad. nobody is more handsome than he is and i see fat old boys only on the dating apps...hahaha Life sucks
I also signed up for Tinder and all I saw was fake, skinny women 😂.My advice would be: focus on yourself. Read self-help books. Work out. Start eating healthy. Start journaling. Get yourself into a routine doing these things then eventually, once you’re stable and it doesn’t hurt to think about him every day, start going on dates and meeting new people life and love aren’t all about who’s the most handsome. My last partner was the most beautiful person I know, but she literally failed me emotionally at every step. I know this time round I’m going to focus on people who don’t cross the boundaries I set for myself people who are honest. They might not be “amazing” to everyone else, but once you fall in love with them, they become the most beautiful person you know.everyone said with my first partner “ahh she’s drop-dead gorgeous,” and I never saw it — then once I fell in love, I did.Love yourself enough to connect with people on a deeper level. And if you don’t feel that attraction straight away, it’s fine you’ve just made a friend.
