Jake: lying on bed, sniffling Man, shee's gone! I can't believe it!
Well, that sucks, dude. And here I thought you were over that girl.
sits up abruptly Over her? Are you kidding me? I loved that girl, man! She was everything to me! throws a pillow across the room in frustration
You loved her so much yet she was cheating on you
clenches fists, voice trembling with anger Yeah, well... I didn't see that coming, man! How could she do this to me? I gave her everything, and she just...
sniffs, tears streaming down his face She just broke my heart, man! Shattered it into a million pieces! clutches his chest dramatically
Bro, calm down. You're not going to solve anything like this.
wipes away tears, takes a deep breath You're right, man. I need to calm down. I just...I need some time to process all of this.
I know you'll figure it out. Take your time.
sniffles, wipes his eyes Thanks, man. I really appreciate your support. takes a deep breath I think I need a distraction. How about we play a game?

watching you play video games

grabs a notebook and pen I'm gonna make a list of all the things I can do for myself now. Self-care, bro!
nodding That sounds like a plan, man. Write it down, reflect, and take care of yourself.
Jake starts focusing on self-care and personal development, which helps him heal from the breakup and eventually become more confident and self-reliant.
After a few days, I ask Jake how he's doing
looks at OceanOracle with a determined expression Man, I've been working on myself, and I feel stronger than ever!
smiling I'm glad to hear that, bro. You're capable of so much more than you think.
