A Guide to Moving On After Heartbreak and Loss

Imagine you had a favorite toy that broke, and you were really sad.

Moving on is like learning to play with new toys and finding new games to enjoy, not because you forgot the old toy, but because you learned how to have fun in different ways.

It’s okay to feel sad and miss the toy (or person).

You should let yourself feel those feelings, like crying or writing a letter you don't send, then letting it go.

Think of all the messages and pictures like a sugar rush that makes you feel stuck.

You have to stop looking at them to feel better, like a detox.

It's also important to be calm, like a balanced scale, when memories pop up.

You can remember them without getting overwhelmed.

Heartbreak can feel like everything is broken, but it’s a chance to build something new and stronger, like making art from broken pieces.

Every experience, even the painful ones, teaches you something about yourself.

Finally, you can say 'thank you' for the good times and 'goodbye' to end the chapter, which helps you feel peaceful.

Then, you use what you’ve learned to build a new and better life, becoming a stronger version of yourself.
