2. Accept that people come and go
In dealing with separation, know that not every people who come into our life deserves a spot in our whole story. Just like a book, there will be characters who will make their way out of a chapter just because they won’t do any benefit to you in continuing your narrative.

Nature has that natural healing property that a person needs because of its calmness that can lift up a mood. Moreover, nature doesn’t only cure physical illnesses, but also the broken souls. Take your time out and wander around, feel the fresh breeze, let the sun rays touch your skin, and unwind with nature. By doing that, you can somehow forget the pain from separation.
