Today, my ex-girlfriend [20/f] posted a picture of her studied abroad trip from Thailand, she's there for most of the summer. I broke up with her a week before she left (not because she went to a study abroad trip but because she is a compulsive liar and cheated on me). We were together for 2 years and 1 month and she was my first girlfriend. We have been broken up for only 3 weeks, I upkept NC (strictly talking to her) for 2 weeks. 

When I saw the picture, it touched the surface on how perfect of a time she was having there. I had an almost new post-breakup rush from seeing it, sort of like the feeling I had when I broke up with her. The feeling of puking, my stomach churning, light-headedness. I can't have that anymore if I want to move on.

I felt like I could handle her being my Facebook friend. But I could not. No contact is essential. I blocked her from Facebook, from Instagram, everything. I can't go through a rush like that again. 

Even though I broke up with her, I still love her. I still care about her. But it's still hard from this end, I had the best hopes and dreams for us. I obviously took grasp of reality and I realize she is not going to be in my future anymore, that I ended us for the best. She's much different than I am and she has different values in life than me. Oh, and she cheated and lied to me. That helps a lot. 

For those who seek advice, comfort, and other things - life goes on. I've gone through a mental re-vamp myself these past 3 weeks and I've realized **time does not change us - only the realization and acceptance of the present changes can bring us happiness.** Also, love is not concentrated into one person and love is pretty much all around us. There are many and plenty of people out there that care about you.
