Hindi na bago sa atin 'to, pero grabe na talaga. Ang taas ng tuition natin dito sa FEU-NRMF, tapos delayed pa rin yung mga announcements pagdating sa weather at flooding situations. Parang hindi priority yung safety at oras ng mga students.

Baka mauwi na naman tayo sa "NRMF Lake" era kung ganito pa rin ang takbo, yung baha na kaya nang magkahulihan ng fish na ganito kalaki 🐟 (see pic). Funny sana kung hindi nakakastress at nakakadelay sa pag-aaral namin.

Sana naman this time, magkaroon na ng maayos na flood control system at mas mabilis na communication pagdating sa suspensions o advisories. Hindi biro yung pagpasok/paguwi ng mga estudyante sa ganitong klaseng baha.

(Sidenote: yung mga pics na nakalagay dito ay mga throwback lang from previous flooding incidents, hindi po current pero ganito talaga kalala pag umaapaw na yung baha dito, kaya sobrang laking issue na dapat asikasuhin.)

Hey Reddit, I just need to put this out into the universe because my chest feels incredibly heavy right now and need some advice.

My girlfriend and I were together for almost four healthy, beautiful years. She has been going through some really heavy personal struggles recently, dealing with past traumas, depression, and anxiety that she deeply wants to fix. A few days ago, she made the painful decision to break up with me because she felt like she was becoming way too dependent on me to get through it all. She didn't want her struggles to burden me, and she realized she needs to find her own healing and learn how to stand on her own two feet entirely on her own. She just doesn't have the emotional capacity to maintain a relationship while sorting herself out and addressing her mental health.

It broke me, because I loved her with everything I had. I was the guy who was ready to marry this girl. Back when we were completely okay, I even made her a "365 Jar" filled with 365 handwritten daily affirmations so she would never feel alone when I wasn't physically there. I was ready to stick by her through everything, but I had to respect her choice to walk away and find her independence.

We had a few back-and-forth logistical texts over the weekend, but last night, we finally had a long, heartfelt closure video call. I cried, she cried, and I told her that even though I envisioned saying wedding vows to her instead of closure words, I love her enough to let her go so she can grow. I told her I was incredibly proud of her, and that we both need to focus on our own paths now.

It feels deafeningly quiet in my room right now. The urge to check my phone or see if she texted after the call is insane, but I’m holding the line. I gave her a beautiful, dignified goodbye, and I left with my head held high.

Need advice on how to progress on peaceful breakup

TL;DR: My girlfriend of 4 years broke up with me to fix her past traumas, depression, and anxiety because she felt she was becoming too dependent on me. We just had a peaceful, heartbreaking closure video call where I officially let her go so she could heal. I completely understand her reasons and we ended on good terms, but I feel incredibly lost. How do I actually move forward and progress after a peaceful breakup?

I (M24) just had a final, mature closure video call with my girlfriend (F25) of 4 years. It hurts like hell
