I wanted to write about getting your heart broken by yet another person who didn't deserve it in the first place. I've sat and contemplated how I wanted to approach this article, and I could come again for the classic "men are the worst and it's going to hurt for a while", but I am so over hearing how my problems will eventually end rather than be given remedy's to fix them. Now obviously not everybody heals the same, but if even one thing on this list helps, it's more than just someone telling you "It will all be okay in the end".Why sit around and wait for the end when you could be doing things to benefit yourself in the now?

Go to your local Walmart, Target, or whatever type of superstore is closest to you and grab some of your favorite comfort foods and maybe a face mask or two. Go home, pull out your favorite movie or show, and sit and binge. This will help you distract yourself from the sadness that initially hits as things are cut off. You'll find happiness in all of your favorite things, but don't become dependent on them. The only thing you need to become dependent on is yourself because, in the end, you are the only person who will always be there for yourself. It will take time to fully be there and love yourself, but when you do it is an amazing feeling.

Or maybe, fill up your tank and hit the road. Your opportunities are endless. You could find yourself just taking a nice scenic drive, or maybe a complete getaway overall. Losing yourself in nature and escaping your troubles for no matter how long is beneficial in many ways. Escaping from toxic situations and being able to find joy in smaller activities can help you heal initially, but you can't spend all of your time running. You eventually have to face your problems, but it is much easier to do that with a clear mind. Take the time to transport yourself to wherever you can go to free your mind, and then come back to approach your situation.

While doing all of this, don't forget to communicate. It may hurt to see someone who caused you so much emotional pain, and it may be hard to keep your composure, but it is needed. One of the things that hurt the most in a heartbreak is unanswered questions that stick in your mind and haunt you every day. Think of every question you could possibly want to ask them and sit down and do it. Get the answers you need to silence your mind. Do not find false hope in these answers. These questions are to gain clarity, not fog up your mind even more. When you get the answers, you have the solution to moving on and freeing yourself from the chains that held your mind and heart captive.

Above everything, put yourself first in every aspect of your life. When you remind yourself that your well-being is the main priority in other areas other than romance, it becomes much easier to be steadfast in your decisions. You will gain back your confidence, which will help you in every area of your life. Confidence in yourself helps you heal faster, and brings the end where everything is truly okay, so much closer.
