โDear stranger, a year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. Five years together, every single day. I've started painting again. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. One day at a time.โ
โI was in the same place in 2022. I remember when we had a dog together, like it was yesterday. I got a new job this spring. It comes back so slowly you don't notice until one day you do. From someone who gets it.โ
โwhen it first happens you'll want to lie on the floor and stay there. that's okay. the dishes will pile up. you'll check if he's online. you'll replay every conversation. it's not pathetic. it's just how it goes. i'm two months in and i still do it. but i also went to the corner shop today and the uncle asked about him and i said we broke up and my voice only shook a little. so. that's something. take the small wins. and let your friends drag you into dumb games at night. it helps more than you'd thinkโ
โPlease be gentle with yourself, I wasn't, and it made everything harder. Routine saved me so same time up, same walk, same tea, and talk to someone, even if it's just in here.โ
