The person who once only brought a smile to your face, suddenly became the person who caused the tears that are running down your cheeks. In that moment, the world is ending.
The hurt you’re feeling seems like it’ll never end, and in some ways it won’t. You’ll continue to carry the sadness of this lost love with you, but the feelings of hurt will morph into other things before finally, they’ll evaporate completely.
Disbelief.
Chances are, when you’re blindsided by a breakup, your first reaction will be, “Wait, what? It’s over? It can’t be…”
You’ll resort to calling or texting him, trying to just reason with him or change his mind.
Pain.
When it finally sets in that he’s really gone, your heart will feel pain in ways it never has before.
You’ll feel defeated, empty, and broken. Nothing can stop the endless tears that steam down your face.
Loneliness.
After weeks, months, or years of feeling like the perfect match to someone, suddenly, you’re alone.
Everywhere you turn there are happy couples, and you’re by yourself. You feel like you’re missing a crucial part of who you are.
Feeling lost.
No longer a member of a pair, you’re by yourself, you aren’t even sure who you are anymore without him.
“What now?” You ask yourself. You have to rediscover who you are outside of your relationship.
Becoming strong.
In re-finding yourself, you discover what it means to be an individual. You become stronger because you are the only one you rely on.
You were pushed out of your comfort zone and now you’re stronger because of it.
Healing.
You no longer feel responsible to answer to anyone else, and you no longer fear what he or anyone else would think.
You start living life the way you want, and feeling like your own person for the first time since he left.
