@bestpartofday Thanks so much for your hopeful words! It’s definitely hard for me to accept since it’s been recent, but seeing that it is possible makes me feel that all is not lost and I should look forward to new things. I definitely want to take this time and work more on myself: practice self-love, realize my own self-worth and set up healthy boundaries for myself so that next time around (if/when it happens), like you said, trust the process and the impermanence of things. I don’t want to indulge in my insecurities, loneliness and depression this time around. I’m already in therapy and I plan to attend a meditation intro class next weekend. If I’m alone–I need to tell myself that it’s OKAY if I am.
I miss him. I think I will miss him for a while–he was my roll dog. I’ll try my best not to stalk his FB page–it’s open access. And if he ends up dating someone I also need to be okay with it and not hate him and such. It’ll do me no good.
I’m trying to be positive. Mostly because (like you said) it’s out of my control. If I don’t accept/let go–I’ll be tormenting myself.

Thanks again for listening and for the advice! I feel it to be a virtual hug. I really appreciate it ‘cuz it’s exactly what I need.
