Love is Just the Instinct of Sex - Schopenhauer
Ever been cheated on? Did your partner walk out on you with no explanation? Was there no mojo in your relationship so you opted to leave, but realized way too late that it was your own damn fault? I’d like to say a broken heart feels like the end of the world, but it really isn’t after you have a couple of them. I don’t care if she pooped gold, or the way he smiled sent those butterflies on a shooting spree in your stomach. I don’t even care if they found their identity in middle school, and transformed into a new bionic AI gender by thirty, leading a cutting edge global company that specializes in environmental activism, and combating the military industrial complex. Just tell me, what is YOUR best way to get over someone, and move on with your life. Cheers!

Just fill the time

You already said it, It's just out of order. You move on with your life, and the getting over someone part comes later.

It's frustrating to try to force it to heal faster than it's going to and I encourage you not to rush into something faster than you should. I've been on the receiving end of that. It's not fun dating someone that's mentally dating their ex.

When the tears stop the hurt will still be there, but I'd invite you to rediscover who you were when you were single or if it's been some time. Find out who you are as an individual. Are you into the working out, writing, gaming, sports, partying, etc? You've got nothing, but time now. Fill it with something.

Voids are supposed to be filled.

Give yourself time, but make sure you're filling that time with things you enjoy. There's no deadline for your next relationship.
