It'd been a year since it happened, and while we were still somewhat distant friends the breakup never really hit me 'til they found someone else on new years.
It was a pretty terrible 2024 for me all around (for them too), and after watching a movie with them (especially given the context of our relationship) it helped a lot.
I genuinely feel lighter for it.
I don't know how effective this strategy is for getting over breakups but instead of bottling it up, I gave myself a chance to grieve it, respect what it meant to me, and understand.
