2. It Lets You Work On You
You're single now. You can take stock of what went wrong in the relationship (if anything did) and you can use those lessons to make you a better person. You can also take dance classes, write bad poetry, get new hair, make new friends, and basically do anything else you want that makes you feel confident because you don't have to consider anyone else's feelings in your decision making anymore. Not that your old relationship held you back (or maybe it did) but those wings are ready for you to dust off. Plus, that good old-fashioned introspection time after a breakup is kind of the best, right?
