Get Over Him (or Her) Already! (old post)
 
Yes, it is time talk about broken hearts. Why? Because it’s a fact of life, and mostly everyone will go through a broken heart. I’ve been through it, and you reading this right now probably have too. This article is for people who need help with this sad time! Or for friends who don’t know what to do with their tearful friend.
Alright, Number One. Cut off Communication. Please, please, please! I know everyone says this, but that’s only because it’s necessary. You need a break from the person you got so attached to. It’s going to be really really hard, I am not going to lie. What did I do with my first broken heart? Called the guy constantly, asking, no wait, begging for him to take me back! That was a mistake on my part, I just looked like a fool! It’s going to be hard, to not speak to the person who could have been the one. But that’s why the other steps come in! To help you with no communication! :D
Number Two, Let the Tears Flow. No matter if you’re a cry baby in general, or never cry, you need to mourn the relationship. I absolutely HATE being sad. I’d rather just be happy and excited about life, that’s just who I am. But you can’t be like that all the time! You’re going to have to face the music eventually. Do not let everything build up. Trust me, you will explode eventually, and it will not be pretty! So, even if you don’t want to cry. Give yourself some time to at least be sad that it’s over.
Number three, Friends till the End. Your friends are there for you! So take advantage of it and hang out with them till they can’t stand you anymore! Haha. I’m kidding, sort of. But in all seriousness, you need to get your mind off all of this emotional turmoil. So after you mourn the relationship, get off your butt and go bowling! Or just go dancing, because that is always fun. Not only friends, but chill at home with your family. Distraction is key my dear!
Number Four, It’s Not Your Fault. Yeah, it’s not your fault. So stop dwelling on it! What could I have done differently? Could I have saved it? No. You couldn’t have. Things happen. For a reason. I know I know, pretty cliche of me to say, but it’s SO true. If you were meant to be with a person, then you will end up with them. Stop hurting your ego by telling yourself you did something wrong. Because even if you did make a mistake, you can at least learn from it.
Number Five, Do Something New. Treat yourself! Do something that makes you feel rejuvenated. Is that the right word?  Haha. Personally, every time I go through a break up, I get a new haircut. It makes me feel happy, and like it’s a new day. Also, try a new hobby. Learn salsa dancing, painting, ceramics, anything! You will feel good about yourself, and be to busy to dwell on the relationship.
Break ups happen, it’s a fact of life. Maybe you broke up with someone, or someone broke your heart. Either way, it’s tough to lose someone you got close to. But life moves on, people meet other people, and eventually you fall in love again. And eventually, you’ll find someone you want to be with for a very very long time. And hey, you can always be friends with your ex, it just takes time :)
