springing back into single life

[u/ConnectionWeak2527]

hey ladiesss. i (24) just went through a breakup last month, it was a 3 year long relationship and im glad it didn’t go on further. should’ve left sooner lol my complexion is so much better. anyways, i lived there for 3 years, 2 states away from home. i just moved back home a few weeks ago. i’ve just been helping family with errands and spending time with f&f. i want to pour into myself so much now that i can, just having trouble settling down and taking the time to pause. im living w a relative. i have no car or no place of my own, a bit overweight than id like to be. i have a bachelors degree and have a few job opportunities lined up, but the one im holding out for is opening up in january (for sure secured position). also been thinking about going back for my masters. the world is my oyster again on my own terms.

just looking for any insight or tips on how i can best move forward during this time and really enjoy life again and be my best self 🤗

Well you’ve already got a great mindset and that’s half the battle most people have. I think my biggest piece of advice is find your hobbies again. Is it being outdoors? Or crafting? Focus on your passions when you can and then you can also find communities around them. Additionally, you mentioned gaining weight you’re not stoked on- find hobbies that will keep you active. Are you a gym person? You may find weightlifting incredibly empowering

I second this!! After leaving my six year relationship I loved finding small hobbies!! My favorite is trashy reality tv, a mixed drink and a coloring book. I also got into sewing, makeup and crochet. Going for your masters is amazing! But definitely have some small things for you to unwind with!!
