How I did it: I cried, I talked it out with family and friends, I cut him COMPLETELY out of my life meaning I changed my number, I didn't respond to his emails. Nothing. He was still trying to call and talk and wanted to be friends after the break up. But I knew I didn't want his friendship. Not because I was bitter but because I knew it would hinder me from getting over him. Believe me, It hurt but he didn't know that. He didn't know I cried so much for him but it wasn't for him to know. It was for my own healing and thank God I was able to do it. Now I feel great! When I think of him, it doesn't even hurt anymore.

Lessons & tips: Don't rush yourself. It takes time. Take one day at a time. Know that you will miss him, that you will want to call him, that you long for him to call you. You'll want to just talk to him or know he misses you. But whatever you do, DON'T CAVE IN! Cry if you want, talk it out with someone, be angry, be sad. Embrace the emotions and then pick yourself up, dust yourself off and move on. Another thing that I did was to focus on myself. I concentrated on me. I read lots of books, wrote down dreams and goals and now I'm in the middle of pursing them WITHOUT HIM! I swear you'll feel better when you're over him but give it time. Time is your best friend. And don't hate him. Just release him to the universe and wish him well.

Resources: God, self help books, Kleenex and my own strength  and self esteem.
