Give me your best break up advice please

Feeling very sorry for myself, my boyfriend of 2 years broke up with me yesterday, not entirely out of the blue but somewhat unexpectedly. No hard feelings, no reason to hate him or him hate me. I truly believed he was the one, he felt differently. I’m heartbroken and my chest has ached all day but I also think I’m doing a little better than I expected.
Initially we said oh we won’t block etc. but today we agreed we would indeed block and go no contact.
This isn’t my first break up but in the past it’s been very easy for me to see why we broke up, there was abuse and narcissistic behaviour and I was angry more than sad when it ended. Today I’m just sad.

So hit me with your best break up advice. So far my lovely sister has said “If true love is them picking you in a room filled with everyone they have ever known, why would you want to be with someone who won’t even pick you in a room where you’re the only one in it”.
Help me lick my wounds please.

Cut all ties have absolutely zero contact remove them from all social media , it will take you so much longer to move on if you don't

If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn’t, then it was never meant to be

Make yourself a list of all the things you'd like to do in the next few weeks and start making some plans with friends 💐

This awful first bit, no appetite, waking up earlier and thinking about him, feeling low and scared - only lasts for about 2 weeks max.. after that you're in phase 2- keeping busy, getting stuff done. Say yes to sensible opportunities and focus on doing beneficial and healthy things for you. Speak to yourself kindly and let yourself have a few treats here and there

Your sister is right.

Keep going forwards, one step at a time and have faith that you will be more than fine in the end.
