Moving on after letting the love of your life go?

I think the best thing to do is really take in a hobby that you like. Whether it being playing an instrument, or sport, or anything! Also having someone to talk to is always a great plus, but you have to allow someone to be open with you. Nothing is ever going to be perfect in your life, and this may suck now, but in the end it's gonna make you a stronger person. Drinking is definitely not something that's gonna make you forget about her. I'm sure there will always be some part of you that loves her, considering she was your first real love. Don't let go of the good memories, and appreciate the time you got to spend with her. I think the only time when you for sure let go of her is when you find another girl you truly love. This is such a hard thing to do, but everything happens for a reason. Don't let this take over your life, have fun, go to clubs, let things loose every now and then.
