Life can be messy. Sometimes you need a little support to make your way through it. I love to help guide people through their challenges & to find the beauty in our messes.

I am sure this isn't the answer you want to hear, but... time is the number one way to move on. Other ways to help yourself move on is to, remove anything from the life that reminds you of her. Start by deleting pictures, returning things of hers you have; it is a way of almost clearing her physically out of your life before you can remove her mentally and emotionally. Another way to move on is not to dwell on them; do not sit around waiting for them to come back, keep yourself busy, keep your mind busy.

Hello, according to me accepting that it was something beautiful but has completely ended is the first step towards moving on. Second step should involve taking care of yourself. Loving yourself, by investing in yourself. Adopting a new hobby, going on walks, exploring stuff, etc. are some of the things you can try. Try to find yourself. And make yourself realize that you're more than "someone loving you". I know all this is easier said than done. But trust me when I say this, that it gets easier with time. to quote my fav show BoJack horseman, "There Are People In Your Life That Help You Become The Person You End Up Being, And You Can Be Grateful For Them, Even If They Were Never Meant To Be In Your Life Forever". Courage to you for reaching out. And all the best to you for your path ahead.

Try to slowly let go of that someone, iI know that it’s hard but you need to try to move on and if you do that magical things can happen. Maybe you meet someone who you love dearly and they love you back the same way. This seems impossible right now but it isn’t please don’t close yourself off from love, it’s a beautiful thing as long as you meet the right person for you. There is someone out there who loves you for who and what you are and who will Never stop loving you. Remember that your loved and cared about, your a diamond never forget that
