What would Marcus Aurelius say about a breakup?

You grieve not only the person, but the future your imagination built around that person. Be honest about this, and the wound becomes clearer. Another soul has gone its own way, as all mortal things do. You are not wrong to feel the parting; affection leaves an imprint. But do not call yourself ruined because what was never yours to command has changed its course. You may love and still release. You may remember and still refuse to be governed by memory. Keep what was good as proof that tenderness visited your life. Let go of the claim that it was owed to remain. What is left to you is your conduct: to speak cleanly, to refrain from bitterness, to order your days again. Love did not fail because it ended. Consider what in you must now learn to stand without leaning.

— Marcus Aurelius
