After breaking up there is this really weird period afterward of "Well what do I do now?"

For me everything that I used to do involved another person. My partner and I were together for two years within that time, its hard not to get tangled up in each other's lives.

But after a breakup, you are tragically or not so tragically ripped out of each other's lives. You have tons of pictures and things that were given to you by a person you don't recognize anymore. If you were in a relationship like me where you shared everything, it can be really hard to move on with memories hanging around.

The items that hurt the most was my clothing because some of it wasn't just my clothes. They were my clothes that we shared. If you are in a similar boat, I suggest you jump ship too. For starters getting ride of my old clothes allowed me to get rid of a lot of clothes that didn't fit me anymore. Over the course of a year, I lost 60 pounds, and my body has changed a lot.

To start there's no need to throw away any of your clothes unless they are beyond being used by someone else. Otherwise, bag up everything and donate it, it's better for the earth and it gives someone else a chance to refresh their wardrobe. If you have clothes you still like and want to keep, keep them.

The best part is searching for new items to fill your wardrobe. Remember you get to dress however you want. So buy things that make you happy and make you feel good. Never buy anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or because someone else tells you to buy it. Right now is your chance to really be you.

After you are done putting together your new wardrobe remember, you did this for you. Not for your ex.
