moves on
Gets past it
Moves on means to leave behind and progress forward.
After a breakup, loss, or setback, someone who moves on stops dwelling on it and resumes life: It's been a year—time to move on.
It can also mean physically departing: The police told the crowd to move on.
In conversation, it signals shifting topics: Let's move on to the next question.
