how to recover from a breakup and get your hopes and dreams back

"It's not you, it's me." "We've grown apart." "I think we should start seeing other people." Whether it's because of trust issues a bad fight, bad sex, or you can't put your finger on where it went wrong, breaking up is never easy. In fact, it has the power to tear down your world in an instant. It may leave you sad, lost, confused, angry, or just plain lonely.
