Gammazetagrl: Major props to you girl!! I'm so glad that you are coping well with the breakup
. I know how hard it is--especially when that person was so special to you! And about how you said how much time you have for YOURSELF now--relish in that! I've realized that a lot of times, I don't have time for ME b/c I've been in relationships, basically one after another..without being single for a long time. It's so great to have time for yourself only!
Also, when I went through a really hard breakup last year (kept on going back to the idiot of a cheater), it really helped to have great friends by your side, spend time with the family, and INDULDGE, indulge, indulge!!! Go eat some chocolates if you want to, go get that new top that you've eyeing, etc.! Also, writing in my journal really helped me
. And it's so true that time heals everything.
Also, I know this sounds soo cliched, but it's true that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I've become a lot stronger through the things that I've gone through recently, and that hard breakup that I had last year finally taught me how important it is to treat myself right!! So treat yourself like a princess
. Sorry to go on and on about this...I'm sure you've probably heard this all already!
