Finding love stories after devastating breakup?

[ThisIsMyStory]

Hi,
I have posted previously about my boyfriend giving me 3 days notice that he was leaving the country, and we broke up a couple of weeks ago.
I'm still feeling pretty numb and upset and in shock. And i'm in my early 20s, all my friends are in relationships, and i feel like i'm forever alone (hahah i know, unlikely)
In short: i'd just like to hear some positive outcomes of devastating breakups :)

I wouldn’t even be thinking about love or another relationship right now. Just live life for a bit and see what happens

Every bad breakup gives you a little armour for the next one; take all the pain from it, don't forget it and you will be surprised in 3 months time the resilience you will grow in your early twenties. Your future man is out there, doing the same old crap you are doing now, a few breakups, a longing and somewhere, sometime you both will meet.

I'm not thinking about finding love anytime soon, far from it!!
I just want stories to make this heartbreak bearable

Ok, my first love broke my heart beyond sense. I did not know what to to do. I asked people to ask him (given that he never officially finished it), I was in turmoil. But then another fella who liked me came along; I was not really interested and then a life changing event happened for him, so stayed there as a support. We eventually mutually broke up and at that stage my ex was far from my conscious thoughts. 15 years on I am so happy that I am not with him. Time is the only healer.

you can get over anyone.

Thank you

Omg you have your WHOLE life ahead of you to have endless dates and boyfriends! You're only just starting out I don't even remember the heartbreak I went through in my early 20s. You'll get over this a lot quicker than you think. Remember, it will pass

Hey OP, I'm 26. My boyfriend of 6 years broke up with me out of the blue 4 months ago. I was absolutely devastated, crying every day, couldn't see any hope, missed him so much. 4 months later and I still get sad some times but I'm feeling so much better, I've been focusing on me and all the things in my life that make me happy outside of him. I have no intention of getting into another relationship for a while but I'm enjoying going out with my friends, looking good and having a flirt. Before I couldn't see light at the end of the tunnel but now it's starting to show through. If I can get there you can too!! Big hugs for you, this is a very hard time

Thank you for your replies!! It'a nice to hear that it wont last.forever, even though i know it wont but atm it feels like that.
We were together 4 years and we lasted long distance for 2 months but i just couldnt do it anymore - he gave me 3 days notice he was leaving before he went, and i'm on a stressful uni course.
He's out and about travelling experiencing the world whilst i'm at home studying.
I am happy he's finally happy but i resented him. Whilst i was stressed with uni work and recovering mentally from a termination in November, he was out in the sun enjoying life. And it made me so moody that I feel my moodiness ruined the relationship.

Instead of focusing on what he's doing, how much fun he's having etc, why don't you think about, and write a long list of all the things you want to achieve in life? Especially those things you couldn't do before but now can because you're single and free. Think about travelling, hobbies, meeting new people. Start to focus on how you can make your life the very best it can possibly be. You'll be so happy yourself that you won't even think about him

And your moodiness didn't ruin the relationship. Even if it did, it means he wasn't the one for you. A strong, solid relationship filled with love, trust and loyalty wouldn't crumble at the first sign of moodiness following what must have been a difficult time for you. Be kind to yourself
