bottling up your feelings may sound appealing, but that will only worsen it. write down your feelings and thoughts in a notebook, type it out in a notes app, talk about it to someone you trust, or talk to yourself about it. you don't have to bury your feelings deep inside.
and, remember that it is okay to ask for help. if you want someone to talk to, need some words of reassurance, a hug, or anything you might need, it is okay to ask for it. you and your feelings will always matter.
Nobody tells you how moving on from someone you considered your safe place is hard. Nobody tells you you’ll keep wondering about them for the rest of your life.
“Be confused, it’s where you begin to learn new things. Be broken, it’s where you begin to heal. Be frustrated, it’s where you start to make more authentic decisions. Be sad, because if we are brave enough we can hear our heart’s wisdom through it. Be whatever you are right now. No more hiding. You are worthy, always.”
