THINGS I’VE LEARNED POST BREAKUP🍋

My nearly 4 year relationship ended. Here’s what I’ve learned…

🤍 the pain may be all consuming now, feel those emotions and don’t invalidate them. However, also know it’s not forever, even when it feels like it.

🤍 i neglected my mental and physical health. Antidepressants made me gain weight crazy quick and I wasn’t selfish enough to take control even when I didn’t recognize myself in the mirror and avoided them at all costs (don’t let this deter you – I was just on the wrong medication for my body)

I’m down about 40 pounds, and healthier than I’ve been in awhile! ☺️

🤍 stop settling out of fear of losing someone. you will meet people who want to do the same things as you. You won’t feel like an inconvenience.

🤍 moving back in with my mom, felt like a major feet and step backwards, but I don’t know where I would be without her.

🤍 this was my first love and first proper break up. I genuinely did not believe I would find happiness in everyday life again. It may sound cheesy, but one day you will wake up and realize how far you’ve come.

🤍 girl friendships are underrated and they’re importance is incredible. Especially in your 20s. Pouring love into your friendships and the people who truly care about you is rewarding.
