Option D represents a growth mindset and positive self-talk that acknowledges the sadness of the situation but also sees it as an opportunity to learn and move forward. It is important to avoid negative self-talk, as in options A and B, as it can create a self-fulfilling prophecy and reinforce unhealthy beliefs. Option C also puts too much blame on Olivia and does not allow for the possibility of Liam's responsibility in the break-up.
