"Maybe I just miss the idea of you..."
Breakups suck.
The person who you confided in, shared your strangest late-night thoughts to, and laughed about stupid things with is no longer in your life. Whether you were on the receiving end of the breakup or the one who decided to part ways, it's not easy. No matter the reason, it's a huge change in both of your lives that takes time to adjust to.
We all respond to the initial shock of a breakup in different ways. Some of us become in denial and keep extra busy, while others pull the cliché move of staying in bed all day with a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. There comes a point though, where you have to accept things for what they are, and luckily, you are not alone. Your breakup may feel incredibly personal to you, but the truth is, everyone goes through them.
