30 Instagram Captions for Anyone Going Through a Breakup

If you're going through a breakup, we're sorry, or alternately, congratulations — whatever sits best with you today. 

Breakups can be hard, but they can also be empowering. Break up with the right person, and you'll feel like your life is just beginning. That said, even knowing you've made the right decision doesn't always make the process of uncoupling any easier.

No matter which end of the breakup you find yourself on, there's a chance that you're turning to social media to seek solace. You might even want to post a photo of how happy you are and how well you're doing, or announce the breakup to your followers on social media so you don't have to navigate questions and pep talks from your individual friends.
