Dear beginner25:

Did you ever go on a scary rollercoaster, where it goes up slowly and then all the way up, stops for a moment and before it goes down quickly everyone on it screams, and you scream too?

It is scary but people know they will survive the ride because they saw all the people coming out of the previous ride alive and well. And they know that thousands of people went on that ride before and survived.

Same here- thousands, millions of people before you were in love and got their heart broken in their very first relationship, their first in everything. And they survived. Many thousands of people are suffering from a broken heart as I type this. You are one. There are many others. And they will survive, so will you.

Think of times in your past when you felt emotional pain- you survived. Remind this to yourself and take deep, slow breaths as you remind yourself that you survived and will survive this. I think that it is important that you don’t wait for December, that you give up on him now. Waiting will make the pain last and last.

Can you give up on him, place him in your past, starting today?
