this really sucks. she’s with someone else and says that maybe one day we can try again but not now. i’m in pieces trying to move on. i really thought things were going better than for a long time between us, but…

i am afraid that i’ll never find someone i connect with as deeply as her. she was my first and only love and i’m truly heartbroken. will it ever be ok again? does anyone know any good coping strategies or ways to deal with this?

    shit might suck for a long time tbh but one day you’re gonna just basically be over it

    one thing i’ll say is not to hold out for that “maybe one day we can try again”. that’s going to keep you stuck in a situation where you can’t move on therefore can’t heal
