Every girl knows that break-ups are never easy. Every girl will experience one, no matter how they try to make it work or to fix their relationship; you can't fix something that's broken. Whether you break-up with someone or you're the one who got dumped, it's hard to process that the person you were with is now nothing more than a stranger. Here are a few ways to help those heart broken girls out there:
1.) It's okay to break down and cry: No matter how long the relationship was, it's okay to let yourself cry. Whether you were with the person for a few weeks or a few months, letting someone go is never easy. So don't be afraid to let yourself have a crying session.
2.) Don't be afraid to remember the good times: We all have gone through break ups where all we can remember are the good times, even if we want to remember how much of a jerk they were. People leave certain imprints on you where if you listen to a certain song or maybe go to a certain place all you can think about is how you felt when you were with them. Don't feel bad for thinking of the good times, everyone does. Just remember you're going to have better memories with someone else.
3.) Pig out: You have to splurge a little and that means sitting in front of your laptop; eating chips, chocolate and pizza. Maybe even plan a girls night. Talking until three in morning, watching scary movies and eating butt loads of popcorn is good for a broken heart.
4.) Keep yourself busy: Once the time comes and you feel ready to start living your life again, keep yourself busy. Do things that make you happy; going on hikes, shopping, hanging out with your friends, going out to eat, maybe even read a few books that interest you. For example, I have been focusing on school and what college I want to go to. Focusing on a long term goal has helped me personally because this gives me something to focus on and look forward to.
5.) Don't feel pressured to start dating again: Don't let anyone pressure to start dating again. That is up to you personally and how you are dealing with your breakup. Everyone deals with their breakups differently so you don't need to move on super quick. Deal with your emotions and take some time to heal what's been hurt.
Breaks up hurt but remember, losing someone who does not respect and appreciate you is actually a gain. Not a loss.
