15. GIVE IT TIME

This is the simplest advice here and perhaps the most useful. 

When you lose someone meaningful to you, you won’t feel great overnight.

Be patient and follow the above advice of investing in yourself, spending time with good company, and meeting new people.

If you can do that, I promise it will get better.

All these points were written to help you get over a breakup in the healthiest way possible.

But they only work if you’re doing it to improve yourself, for yourself. 

The advice is irrelevant if you fall into the trap of doing it for your ex.

You don’t need to impress them. 

You don’t need to better yourself to spite them.

And you shouldn’t be thinking, “I’ll prove to her how awesome I am!” 

You just need to see it for yourself.
