Recovery
Okay, so this part honestly does suck. You evaluate your entire life decisions, pick at every single one of your flaws, cry to your best guy friend with endless self-pity, rebound with someone you definitely don't want to rebound with. You feel this wave of emotions and get that disgusting feeling knowing he's loving his rebounds and you're not. You try avoiding the sadness and fully repress them. Stop. That is just so unhealthy. It's perfectly okay to cope and grieve over either six months or six years of happiness. The "shoulda, coulda, wouldas" that you keep thinking would not have fixed anything. He didn't love you for you, and that's perfectly okay. But after a period of time, you need to understand some extremely important things.
