The dial tone after speaking to someone you loved for the final time over the phone.
Crying until you canât breathe.
Your body becoming numb and your mind spinning as you try and process as you end things with your partner.
Amicable breakups when you and your former partner still loved each other during said breakup, and then watching them move on from a distance, while you still reminisce on what could have been every now and thenâeven when you, yourself, have moved on.
Feeling lost.
Firm believer that breakups build you as a person. I am not the person I was when I was in my first committed relationship. I built myself up, I created boundaries, and I no longer live for anyone else but myself

đąEverything comes full circle. Sometimes it happens sooner than later, and it often happens sooner than weâd have liked.
But just because something has an end doesnât mean you failed, including relationships. Sometimes you have different needs, goals, values, or communication styles. Other times youâve grown in unexpected ways and find yourself headed in a different direction than this person that you love. No one has to be blamed or made to be the bad guy. Itâs often just⌠change.
Change can still be painful. Make space for yourself to grieve what was lost, including the future you may have invested your hopes and imagination in, but know that endings create open space for new beginnings to take flight. There are other possibilities in store, believe you me!

đThe most challenging part of breakups for me is rebuilding the infrastructure of your own life. Reconnect with the things you used to do before you started dating someoneâ(they might feel different and you might find they no longer work the way they used to, this is normal and okay) and find new things that help re-light the curiosity of your own life. We know so much less than we *think we do about what we might like/who we are, and breakups offer the perfect time to collect a little pile of ways/things/friends that help you feel more in touch with what you love and who you are. Gonna feel uncomfortable and weird but that means itâs working. Sending you love â¤ď¸

â¤ď¸sometimes you gotta remind yourself why you broke up â even if they broke up with you or it wasnât mutual etc etc, theres always good reasons even if itâs just âthey dumped meâ like okay yes and do you want to be with someone who would dump you no (even if maybe it doesnât feel like that rn). Reminding yourself of the things that make you incompatible helps you 1) process and move forward 2) know what to look for in your next relationship eventually! What were the needs that you always sort of wished theyâd met? Interests you wish theyâd shared? at some point it will be good to consider all of the good things that were there so you can look for those in the Future but now isnât that time âŚ
Also: -Read a long and easy book literally give your brain a break from your thoughts (this always helps me reset) -spend time with your friends and reconnect with old ones or people you just sort of lost track of because you were in a relationship and didnât have the social time. Build up other sources of love!
