Breakups are never easy and each one feels like the end of the world. My friend's relationship with her first boyfriend just ended recently and it's been heartbreaking for her. Seeing her go through it reminded me of my first breakup and how I felt at the time. It also reminded what I did and told myself to get through it. So here are some things for her and everyone else who is currently going through a breakup should hear.

1. It ended for a reason.
2. There is no one to blame for its ending.
3. If they were meant to stay in your life, they will find a way back in.
4. Now is the time to take time and focus on yourself, do the things that you enjoy and makes you happy.
5. You'll always have the good memories with them and you shouldn't forget that, cherish them and hold onto those memories.
6. Let yourself go through the pain and hardship now, feel everything so you can eventually be at peace.
7. If you don't let yourself go through the pain of it, you'll never fully heal.
8. Talk about it, let everything it out, release the pain from your heart.
9. Don't even think about texting them, at least not right away, you'll only make it harder to move on.
10. It might take some time, but one day, you'll start to wake up and hurt less and less. You will be okay.
11. Delete everything from your phone, yes do it.
12. Take time to reflect and take everything in, you might learn something about yourself and the relationship that you hadn't before.
13. Get outside and do things that make you happy!
14. If it ended, there was nothing you could have done to prevent it from ending, come to terms with that statement.
15. Don't harbor hate and especially don't sh*t talk about them, you're only hurting yourself.
