How Do You Move On From Someone You Still Love? 3 Journal Prompts for Heartbreak and Healing

Sometimes it’s easier to vent to strangers on the internet than the people closest to us.

Not because strangers know us better…
but because they don’t always expect us to “be strong” all the time.

A lot of people struggle silently after breakups because they feel pressure to:

• move on quickly

• act unbothered

• distract themselves

• pretend they’re okay before they actually are

Especially men.

A lot of men are taught how to suppress heartbreak…
but not how to process it.

That’s part of why we started going live on TikTok every Monday-Friday at 7PM EST.

We wanted to create a space where people could say the things they usually keep trapped in their head.

Recently, someone commented:

“I’m not good bro. We broke up and I still love her more than anything.”

And honestly?

A lot of people know this feeling.

Because heartbreak doesn’t automatically disappear just because the relationship ended.

Sometimes the relationship ends…
but the love is still very much alive.

And that’s the part people don’t talk about enough.

You can know a relationship needed to end…
and still deeply miss the person.

You can understand the breakup logically…
while emotionally feeling completely wrecked by it.

And after a while, your mind starts replaying everything:

• memories

• conversations

• regrets

• what you could’ve done differently

• whether they still think about you too

Because when someone becomes part of your daily life, future, identity, and emotional safety…
losing them can feel like losing a version of yourself too.

So here are 3 journal prompts I’d ask someone in this situation:

1. What am I grieving the most right now?

The person, the routine, the future I imagined, or the version of myself I was when I was with them?

2. Am I allowing myself to fully feel this heartbreak…

or am I trying to rush myself into “being okay” before I’ve actually processed the loss?

3. What parts of my identity, joy, or emotional stability became too dependent on this relationship?

What would it look like to slowly reconnect with myself again?

Because sometimes the hardest part about heartbreak…

is learning how to carry love for someone while also accepting they’re no longer part of your life.

Next time your brain is spiraling, open Plurawl...vent...and it will help you make sense of your thoughts.

The w in is silent, but you don't have to be.
