I despise researching feelings and finding the best ways to deal with them. The internet is jam-packed with voices of reason that contradict each other. It's like a crowded room full of incoherent yelling, generating so much noise. I can't establish the correct move because lived experiences are always subjective. I'm coming to terms with the fact that life must keep going. Just do whatever's best for you. People leave your life, and that's totally normal. Don't be stagnant.
