I (23F) am breaking up with my boyfriend (24M) but I don't know what I should do now

The other commenters are right that you are not responsible for his well-being.

But if it helps you get peace, maybe extend an offer to get some coffee with him, so that he can get closure. Invite him to ask questions and say his piece. But also remind him of your boundaries.

Do you want to remain friends? If not, let him know you're done and that you wish him well. But if you do, maybe just say that you need some time, but are looking to catch up in a few months or whatever. Just be careful not to say anything seemingly innocuous that could give him hope of a romantic future like "I'll always care about you" or "you'll always be important to me".
