idk how to break it to you but you never really do… your first love is something that will stick with you forever. people only learn how to cope with the feelings. the feelings and memories fade over time, become bittersweet. i still think about my first love some nights. we were together for two years broke up senior year, he was my first everything. the only choice you have is to pick yourself back up. you’re still loveable, if anything now more than ever. You’re no longer as vulnerable and naive. Your first love you love with all your heart, but your second you get to love with your brain. Take your time before getting into another relationship, you don’t want to lose your sense of self. Keep your standards high even in times of feeling lonely.

I don’t think this is the case for everyone or even most people - seems like this is specific to your situation (or maybe it has only been a couple years?) I very rarely think about my most devastating heartbreak anymore, and when I do I don’t feel sadness. Just don’t want OP to think they’ll necessarily never get over it bc that seems unlikely to me.
