Calm down. This relationship was only 3 weeks long. There will be others.

Best way is stay friends as he suggests he wants, that way at least you see him. Tell him you dont want to know about any new girlfriends ,you just want to be friends with him. That will enable you to let yourself down gently !!

You will feel better over time, but you're in the stage now where you can't feel anything else. You will get through it I'm sure.

What do you do? You go full steam ahead at preparing yourself for adult life.
You going through the falling in and out of love cycle, along with all the tears at this point of the cycle is a part of your preparation.
In time you will see that you were really dumb to cry this much over some boy. And that no man is worth crying for. Or not for more than 2 days anyway.

There's an abundance of good men.

There will be only one 1st March 2025. And when it's gone you'll never get it back. And so on for the rest of your life. Make each day a special one. Or as special as you can in whatever circumstances you're in.

do right by future you and grieve it SO that you can carry on. it’s ok to be sad, hurt, disappointed, etc. but respect his decision to go and don’t get stuck on it. keep putting one foot in front of the other because you have so much to live for.

you have dreams to pursue, new people to meet, new things to discover about yourself, and greater things to be a part of. one day you’ll look back and see that not only did this free you and teach you but that it’s actually a relief to be in the wrong thing briefly and quickly. you got the truth at 14 with low stakes and without losing your life, your time, your health, or your identity in the process. embrace this ending and focus so you’ll be ready for the new that’s coming

If you ever want to just chat about something and you're feeling down, toss me a PM. Something I don't mind doing for a lot of people here on TSR.
