Don’t pretend like it doesn’t hurt, because it does. And even though it sucks, it’s okay that it does. It’s supposed to. If it doesn’t that means it didn’t mean anything, and it did. It meant everything, and losing that is going to hurt. Maybe showing the hurt seems pathetic or shows vulnerability, but so what? Heartbreak causes that. It causes people to be vulnerable and desperate, but don’t hide it because then it will last longer. Let people know that you had something worth hurting over. They won’t be jealous of your pain, but they will be jealous of how happy they know you once were. Don’t be ashamed of whatever you’re feeling; embrace it and let it fade as you’re ready to let it slip away.
