We broke up

My boyfriend and I broke up yesterday. We’ve been together since 2014.... long story short, it was a long time of long distance through school and work and graduations and family events and us.... but life played a card that would extend the distance for another four years. And I really didn’t want it to end, but his words were thoughts I’ve felt before.... So... in that sense I suppose it went about as good as it could’ve went for us. There was crying laughing hugging kissing more crying more laughing then holding each other and letting go.... the waves we felt shrunk themselves into almost three hours of talking and deciding and diving into hypotheticals and talking over all possibilities....

I guess my point to this post is what do you do when you’ve loved someone for so long, but they can’t be your go-to anymore...? How do you branch out and make new friends? I’m not interested in dating right now. But. I am interested in making friends and doing things to keep myself happy when I feel like I’m slipping into reminiscing someone I miss....

Thank you in advance, lovelies
