You've cried yourself to sleep more nights than you can count, perfected the 'fake it till you make it' mantra, and found yourself going to places you never imagined. You even asked yourself, 'What am I doing here?' and felt weird or out of place in the most random situations, but HEY, I've got good news for ya...
You're healing. So let's lift that mood!

It can be a long process, we know. Just take it one day at a time.
You've tried a new hairstyle, rocked new outfits, started therapy, and your skin-care routine actually started skin-caring. Your DMs are full, and yassss, gurl, you really are looking gorgeous.
Kick off your single era like a real boss.

No, you're not interested in low-effort conversations anymore. If someone wants anything from you, they'd better actually try. You won't give your attention to anyone just because they're looking pretty; you know you deserve more than that. You are not getting involved after a couple of ‘some Instagram user liked your story’, or ‘answered your story’ notifications. No more refreshing your inbox every five minutes waiting for someone to text you back. You are the one who's choosing now.
Start gym classes, try yoga or pilates, pick up a new hobby, learn to cook something new, spend quality time with your friends. Focus on yourself. Find a purpose in doing the things that really matter to you, and your glow-up will come naturally, without even trying.
