Aw penguin, hugs for you sweetie. So many of the things you hear sound a bit cliché, but they are true. Breakups are soooo hard; I know that anguished feeling very well & so do most of us. Sometimes it can feel like nobody else could possibly understand, but yep, we all go through it... some of us repeatedly if you're a slow learner like I am. As hurt as you are, you honestly will recover & will be stronger for it.

And hey, mistakes are how we learn, so don't beat yourself up too much. Consider yourself blessed with a fully realized example of what not to do in the future.

I have so many other fabulous words of wisdom, & I'm fairly certain I actually had a point. However, I'm so stoned I don't even know if anything I wrote makes sense, so I'm going to just quit now. But seriously hon, this too shall pass.
