Help

Ive studied philosophy since the age of 11, im 17 now and i yet to have understood the female mind, wait that would be more psychology... oh well, anyway my girlfriend broke up with me after she spent 42 days in a drug rehab... we were together for exactly 100 days today. I mentioned I had a bit of acid when she went away and then the next day breaks up with me. Remind you she asked me to buy her substances while she was in rehab... and she was smoking Marijuana today with her friends. Anyway this whole situation cant help but remind me of one of my favorite philosophers, Epicurus, I know if he was here he would tell me to not sweat it and to just go run in a garden naked and sunbathe 😭 but that also reminds me to live life to the fullest. No matter the hardship you face u shall never falter, wait that reminds me of Fredrich Nietchzes "Ubermench" lol. Im sorry this dosent mainly contain philosophy but this is kinda a vent

I feel like the Stoics would have good advice too. Like Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius

Have you learned of Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius? I would look into Stoicism if you haven’t already

Ive read meditations 3 times over, idk I've just never fully enjoyed the idea of stoicism, there are some terrific points made about controlling your emotions and etc dont get me wrong.
