"It's been six months! Get over him. He has moved on and so must you!" This is what casual conversations with your best friend must sound like after a heartbreak.

You must be sick and tired of listening to 'grow up! Move on!' a hundred times a day because people close to you want you to be fine.But the feeling is indeed a most helpless one. You have spent months together, knowing and adoring every little detail about each other, and then the other person conveniently replaces you, without any intimation and the connection snaps. You feel like shit but the most important thing you can do is be kind to yourself. Remember that today's pain will turn you into a stronger person. Here are ways how!

It doesn't matter if you’re a giver or taker in your relationship. You become a completely different person while dating. You change your sleeping pattern, your choice of white pasta turns to red, and his watering hole becomes your favorite too. But what happened to your favorites? In the process of being another person’s ‘right’ person, you often forget yourself. The person has left, so instead of regretting it, start valuing yourself more. Go on a long drive alone, go eat that chocolate mud pie you gave up on for the fear of gaining weight! 

Stop going on a guilt trip every time you cry over a song that reminds you of him/her. There is no magical cure to a heartbreak. Two tubs of ice-cream, a movie marathon or a long conversation with your best friend isn't the trick to get over a heartbreak. It stays for a long period of time and you learn that it's completely fine. But once you're done crying, don't cry for the same reason twice.
