How do you move on from a close ex-friend?

Tephra

One of my close friends and myself had a big fight where it resulted in him blocking me and myself deleting him from all forms of social media. It started due to him manipulating me into giving him information, which I did not appreciate, and he did not like being called out for it. In turn, I became very emotional and told him I wanted to move on from my feelings for him (yes I did like him until that moment). He took it further and said his final statement, calling me a lot of bad names, made himself the victim and tried to turn my friends against me in the process. After this he blocked me, and I had tried to reach out but I thought space would be best.

Despite all this, sometimes I do miss him and I would want to rekindle what we had before but one of his friends had mentioned he has moved on from everything that had happened, and focusing on his life which makes me very happy.

I still feel a lot of anger and annoyance against him still, and makes me jealous he moved on before me. Apart of me still wants to reach out, but I want to try and move on.

I have filled a lot of my time up with university, work, a couple of hobbies and still find myself thinking about what we use to have.

I do not know how to move on.
