How long does i take to forget your first love?

[Evermore]

I broke up with him because he clearly didn't want/love me anymore. We had a lot of problems..We were in a long distance relationship for 3.5 years. He was my first love...:'( i had so any plans for the future..its so hard to forget him. Its been 6 days...please tell me how long it took u to be ok. I'm 18 and he's 21..i keep wanting to hear from him. I check his social media to see what he's doing. Its not helping me at all..:'(

Note that whenever something happens in life, there is ALWAYS a reason for it.
#1. First of thank life that you had the opportunity to love---that only means that you are open to that possibility and there is even more out there.
#2.It could be that you and your "BF" in the big picture of life (which you cannot see right now) are not a great match for each other.
#3. It could be that the possible "mismatch" of the two of you would end up being disastrous and hurtful in the end (more than this hurts) AND this is life's way of protecting you from future hurt
OR
#4. It could be that life has someone even more wonderful and better for you –so bless and release him/her.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#5--- #3 will occur ONLY if you bless and release the hurt and move forward. Know that you deserve better.
Bless him on his way and wish him well....then life will open another door for you.

Your first love? Oh god! Your first love is always hard! It's one of the first best experiences you'll feel in life.
Your first love will be very hard to get a move on, but there are so many other people who can come next into your love life, someone better, someone who could last with you.
Just learn to move on..
You can do it
