moving on after a breakup

truthfully, the only reason i joined dating apps again is because i wanted to speed up the heartbreak by shifting my focus on someone new. i knew it wasn’t right but i just felt like i needed to do something. but boy did that backfire on me — i saw her dating profile last night.

it was so unexpected and i got a rush of different feelings and emotions ranging from anger and sadness. so i took a deep breath and blocked her on the app. then i laid there unsure what to do next. but then not even 10 minutes later, i get a text from her mom. she was asking how i was holding up. i told her how i felt and she apologizing on behalf of her daughter. i know it’s not directly from her but it did make me feel a whole lot better and it also confirms that my ex feels shame about her actions. she was so cold towards the end, i was starting to think she was heartless. anyways, i kept the convo short and told her that i needed to move on and i had blocked her daughter everywhere but i’ll be there if they ever need anything.

The timing of all this is crazy because just when i needed some help, the universe stepped in. sort of a divine intervention type of moment. either way, this is also a sign that i need to delete dating apps and just lay low for a while.

And likely tomorrow you will feel completely the opposite. Breakups do that, scrambles your brain cells and your emotions are all over the place for a while. You love her, you hate her, you miss her, you don't ever want to see her again, you just want to talk, no, you don't ever want to hear her voice again... back and forth.
Go on a long vacation, that is what I had to do, just to clear your head.
