Struggling with a Breakup and Loneliness

Hey there, good morning 👋🌄 First & foremost, happy birthday chickenlil! What do you think you'll do today? I understand being in a new place away from family and not yet having a friend group. It can get a bit lonesome. Are there any places you've seen that you'd want to visit? A museum or a park, maybe? Where I live, there is a community garden close to a small café. Maybe if you like tea & pastries or a type of niche food, you could treat yourself to a spot in your area. While there, if possible, have a phone call to a friend or family member and enjoy the phone company. I'm sorry it's tough not having them close and I hope a video chat or phone conversation is able help lessen the distance. As for the ex-bf... He should have and could have communicated his thoughts and feelings before hurting you with the after effects. It's okay to feel hurt, angry, many things. It will be easier to think about and understand with time. His actions are a curve ball no one deserves and though it may sting now, you are better off without this person. I hope you find peace in the world today, soak up some sunshine and look to the future. You will find friends soon or perhaps they may stumble upon you. Take time to treat yourself kindly & to whichever nice thing you desire today. Warm wishes & virtual hugs from the East Coast. Have a happy birthday, chickenlil :)
