Everything works out

So I talked to my ex boyfriend who dumped me recently. We both agreed that breaking up was a good idea because we would've just broken up later on. You see, he's a senior and I'm a junior so he's going off to college. We would've broken up at the end of the year or over the summer anyways. So we saved ourselves more heartbreak than what we feel now. We agreed to be friends, like actual friends not the cliche saying that we'll still be friends. We still talk to each other as if we never dated and I think that's good. We both cried together to just get it out of our system and now we have an even stronger connection as friends than we did when we were in a relationship. I really encourage you to not be salty or hold grudges against your exes. Also talk to them, express how you feel in a calm fashion, you can learn a lot and it really really helps.
