Steps Towards a Sucessful Break Up.

I’ve decided that break ups don’t always have to be depressing.

“I love you, I just, I feel like this is coming to an end. Its better for me to let it go now than hold on and hurt you. I gotta let it burn.” - Usher

  1. Make time for wine. So far, I’ve gotten rather aquanted with wine. Or, re-aquanted should I say. Unfortunately, I’ve also learned that an entire bottle of wine consumed to yourself on a week night isn’t so friendly the next morning when you have to work a full 8 hour day.
  2. Go home to visit Daddy. Nothing is better than a father’s advice to his little girl, especially when given in the house you grew up in. He has a way of listening to everything I have to say and making me feel like there’s no possible way I’ve done anything but the right thing.
  3. Music is therapeudic. I’ve been listening to things like Usher’s “Burn”, Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way”, Kelly Clarkson’s “Since You’ve Been Gone”, No Doubt’s “Dont Speak”.
  4. Watch Chasing Amy. This movie puts life, love, jealousy, anger, heart break, etc all into perspective. Its one of my favourite movie’s and it has a brutally honest message.
  5. Buy yourself something pretty. I bought myself a pair of grey ankle boots, a blue dress, a black faux leather jacket, a hoodie, some lingere and 2 necklaces. Now I look great despite the indifference in my head.
  6. Friends, Fun, Friends and Fun. This is the most important thing, If I didn’t have my friends to talk to, to go out with, to tell me its all for the best I’d be going crazy right now. From watching great movies with me, going out to dinner, having drinks and just talking me through everything no matter how many times I’ve exhausted the subject my friends have been great. I love them.

Honestly, I’m not miserable. I’m happy, I’m happier than I’ve been in quite a long time. I just have my doubts sometimes, like everyone.

    hey amber, sorry to hear you’ve had a rough time recently but hopefully everything is working out for the best now.

    i agree with you- number six is definately the most important!

    Glad you are doing so well. I agree with you 100% on the tips you listed below. When you are in a relationship you spend so much of your time focusing on the other person. After a break up, you need to focus on you and things that will make you happy!
