I’ve had my fair share of heartbreak and recently a lot of my friends have been going through that as well. It’s a horrific thing to go through. No more cuddles or cutesy presents. No more texting every night before falling asleep. No more deep conversations and daydreams of walking down the aisle with that person. No more “we”.
This article won’t save you from your fair share of crying but I think it is nice to know that so many people have been through heartbreak and have GOTTEN THROUGH IT.
1. Take time to really grieve. I think sometimes people don’t want to seem weak or vulnerable and put a shield up of how they actually feel. What I have found is that you need to be hurt to get over the hurt. Everyone has different ways of grieving and there shouldn’t be a time limit to it. Cry as hard as that ugly Kim Kardashian cry, watch terrible romantic comedies and eat as much chocolate as you want. Be kind to yourself.
2. Surround yourself with people who love you. After taking time by yourself, you need to get back into your daily routines and talk to your friends about what you are going through. Believe me, my best friends were always there for me and are great shoulders to cry on. Friends are forever ladies!
3. Wine and dine yourself. Take yourself to the mall and buy some treats (aka chocolates or pumpkin pie. Yum!) Maybe even buy a new lip-gloss or get a new haircut. Change can make you feel brand new and can really boost your spirits. Think Carrie Bradshaw after her breakup with Big.
4. Immerse yourself into things you love to do. Go write more, read more, sing more, paint, exercise. Go have fun! Get to know yourself better and become a stronger and better you. You are worth it and you don’t need a boy to be happy.
P.S—Do not text the ex. Don’t. No matter how hard it is. He’s not worth it.
