You start feeling like really valuable.

And you start to heal.

Okay.

So that would be my advice.

I know exactly what you've gone through and it was like a fucking dagger to the heart.

But honestly, it was the best thing that ever happened to me.

The best in hindsight.

And it didn't take me 10 years to realize that.

It took me like two years to realize that.

I got over it after like a year, year and a half.

But then I felt really revitalized about the whole thing ending and where my life was headed.

It was a fork in the fucking road.

And I started creating experiences for myself that I could have never had if we had stayed together.

And I did that on purpose.

I said, well, given that we're not together, what's something I would have never done?

Moved to France, didn't I?

I fucking moved.

I would have never done that if we were together.

So things like that, you start to say, you know what, I've given myself a life that I just could have never given myself if we were together.

Then you look back and you think, thank fuck for that.
