4: stop ignoring yourself
distracting yourself and ignoring your pain are two different things.
take time to do other things, just to occupy yourself and use up energy.
also take time to reminisce, and embrace the nostalgia.
cry over him.
cry over her.
cry over this and that.
don't cry over yourself, though.
wipe your cheeks with that sweater you always wear, and stand up.
crack your neck until the memories flood out your ears.
move on after you're done.
don't ignore or hold pain inside. it makes it worse.
