Here is how youheal.
Youre not as interested in what other people think as you used to be.
Agency
Now, youre on your own journey.
Youve started to focus onyourselfand what you want, rather than what everyone else thinks you need.
Youre encouraged by other peoples relationships, rather than feeling lonely in their presence.
Happy people dont bother you anymore; in fact, youre encouraged by these connections.
Youre comfortable going to places, or doing things alone.
In fact, youre pretty damn content being your own company.

Youve said no to plans or engagements because you want to, not because youre sad.
Youve created boundaries for yourself in terms of your future love life.
Instead of obsessing over what and who youve lost, youve actually started thinking about potential boyfriend/girlfriend material.
And youve set boundaries for what you want, need, and deserve.
Youre able to stumble across pictures of your ex and feel peace, rather than pain.
Thinking about your ex with another person doesnt drive you absolutely crazy anymore.
Actually, when you happen across a photo of him/her with another person, youre strangely happy.
Because you know both of you are moving on.
Youve accepted the fact that some things and people arent meant to be.
Youve come to terms with your breakup, as much as you thought you never would.
You dont have the urge to drunk text him/her.
You dont feel the need to check on his/her social media every day.
Youve made room in your life for things that challenge you.
You are nowfocusing on yourselfnot a relationship, or a broken heart.
Instead of dreading your days, you now see each one as an opportunity.
You have expectationsfor yourself, for your future lover, for lifethat you never had before.
Youve reset the way you look at the world.
And you feel more motivated and purposeful than you ever before.
Youre actually okay with the idea of flirting with someone else.
Instead, youre going about your life without actively trying to pursue anyone or anything.
But if the opportunity comes, you wouldnt hate it, either.
