Big Bend National Park, beautiful, quiet and underrated. Or Ireland like someone up above said, that place is amazing.0

I love this idea. I might also suggest a road trip to as many MLB baseball parks as you can hit. (I've always wanted to spend a summer in an RV, catching a game in every single MLB park.)0 -

I would suggest something with breath taking views and serenity. That said, it now is up to you what you see as "breath taking and serene".
Usually a tropical setting for me. Beach, white sand, snorkeling.
However, the redwood forest, red rock canyon just outside of las vegas is AMAZING, Yellowstone national park, etc. Hiking alone is amazing for the soul. Whether it is on the beach or in the mountains.0 -

Hilarious movie by the way.1 -
If it were me, I'd probably do a biking trip...I keep seeing these organized biking trips pop up on my FB and I want to go but it's difficult with family obligations.0

Music is my healing balm. If you've not had the opportunity to see Red Rocks in Denver then I HIGHLY suggest it.0

Oh. I get it. You're way cooler than me. And younger, I think. Never heard of Mike Posner. But I like it!0 -

I was there in 2012...Taliesin West was amazing (1937)! I'm sure you're aware of these, too...

As an architect, he was brilliant; as a human and a businessman, I think he was kind of a jack *kitten*. Just my opinion.1 -

Music is usually great but too many damn songs are about love gone bad or new love. Or at least that is all I seem to hear in lyrics these days. I need to listen to more old school Metallica.

According to the Atlantic magazine, 92% of charting pop music is about sex and love, or what they euphemistically refer to as "reproductive messaging"!

Geez, I'm sorry. That's a tough situation.
I'd suggest something like a roadtrip or cruise, just something that has you seeing different things everyday and keeps you distracted.0 -

This is even the funny part about the song. He wrote it because he was lamenting never getting super famous with big hits. Turns out that song was his biggest hit!1 -

This is what I would do, cheesy tourist stuff and all.

Go to Iceland and do a Game of Thrones tour, and then take a bunch of Instagram-worthy pictures in the geothermal pools so your ex gets kind of envious?
Or there's always Vegas, but really only if you can get a friend or two to go with you.0 -

With your wound being so fresh, it's probably best you go with a friend or friends to keep you distracted. If you've never done yoga or meditation, it will be tough to focus so I personally wouldn't advise it. Do something different that you normally wouldn't do or go with your ex and create new memories. Most importantly, remember to laugh and have fun. It will get better, you just have to believe.

New beginnings! You have a lot to look forward to. But I'll stay focused on the topic...
I like the ideas of road trip / microbrewery hopping. So... my go-to is always car camping.
Take advantage of the US (that's where you are right?) State Park system. Buy a current Rand McNally so you can scout / call 200 or 500 miles ahead the next night's stay, Google beer hotspots en route, and have an open fire every night to grill something as well as sample what you bought during the day. There will be at least one new cool person to talk to every evening, and you'll be that person for someone else.
We saw all five Great Lakes and did the Leinenkugel tour in one week in 2014 and loved every second. Whatever you do, enjoy..1 -
