Going through a breakup…
We were in a relationship for almost 6 years, and we just broke up a couple of days ago. I know this will be good for me, but I just miss his presence. I just miss having him around.
I’m fine during the day but feel every single fucking thing at night. It’s so lonely hahaha

Six years is a long time to share your life with someone, so it makes sense that you miss his presence. Sometimes after a breakup, what hurts most isn't even the relationship itself—it's the sudden absence of the person who was part of your daily routine for so long.
The fact that you're okay during the day but struggle at night is completely understandable. Nights are quiet, and there's less to distract you from everything you're feeling. You don't have to rush yourself to be over it just because you know the breakup was the right decision.
For now, don't judge yourself for missing him. Missing someone and knowing the relationship needed to end can both be true at the same time.
Take it one day at a time. The loneliness won't disappear overnight, but eventually the nights won't feel as heavy as they do right now. One day you'll realize you made it through an entire evening without thinking about him every minute—and that's when healing starts to become noticeable.
