"Alas, I turn my back. There is a world, elsewhere."
That is a quote from Shakespeare's Coriolanus, in which the main character is not at all being heard out, feels betrayed, and just turns his back on the situation entirely. Vengeance and allying himself with the enemy follows, but that isn't important. I often come back to that one quote.
An entire year for me was hell after a break up. At some point I remembered this quote, and it gave me reason to pursue hobbies, interests in writing, and just the multitude of other things that are available for us that we can't see when we are heartbroken.
An entire world exists other than the depression, sadness, frustration, and all the other negative feelings that are present when someone leaves us or vice versa. Just turn your back on the break up entirely because often there is nothing else that can be done or should be done.
I started writing(Selfish Mind, about how to improve oneself physically, emotionally, and psychologically) now it's been one month and 12 days, Started a hobby of learning Guitar, Working on my coding skills, etc...
