it's been 4 weeks today that he walked out of my life. Not enough time to heal from being discarded. Being rejected. Having love for him just sitting here.. I decided I'm taking that love and placing it somewhere safe. I have to be kind to myself. I started reading again. I ordered a foldable puzzle table. Start doing puzzles again soon. 10 months he was here. All the time together. And now I feel...lost. So, I'm not avoiding the pain. I sit with it, everyday. It's getting slightly easier and not consuming me. Reading and puzzles are something I love. Not to escape when I feel sad but to keep my mind occupied. To keep myself aligned with what I love doing. I can feel this heartbreak. I can have this unreciprocated love and still move forward. Therapy within the month. I can do this.

this is so real and raw đź’” just curious when you sit with the heartbreak, do you journal or talk it out too, or just let it wash over you?
All the above actually
what you’re doing is amazing—focusing on what you love and being kind to yourself is the best way forward. puzzles, reading, small joys—keep stacking those little wins
my ex left after 8 months and i felt completely unmoored. i started painting again, just to feel something good for myself ❤️ it helps, even if just a little.
