Let's be honest... breakups suck. Whether or not you did the breaking up, was the dumpee, or "it was mutual" (we all know what that is code for). However, the best part of the healing process is having someone by your side who knows what it is like and there is no one who knows the heartache of a breakup like everyone's favorite new girl, Jessica Day.
1. Going through the initial shock
Let's face it, even if you saw it coming to an end the blow still stings. So you just sit there and ball your eyes out while watching "Dirty Dancing" on repeat. Oh, you didn't do that when you had your break up? ...yeah me either...
2. Figuring out what to do now
After a break-up, you got to regroup and figure out what makes you datable, so you can get back out on the game. Sometimes it's a little rough getting started with this.
3. Dealing with everyone, and I mean everyone, asking you how you are doing
I mean, it's great that you care, but please stop bringing it up. Especially months after it happened, sometimes there are scabs that just should not be picked, we'd like them to heal in their own time and on their own.
4. But also going through the same stage where you're just emotional and literally anything can make you cry
This just goes without saying.
5. Finally accepting and loving single life
And it truly is a freeing feeling!
6. Trying to stay hip while you put yourself back on the dating market
And if you're anything like Jessica Day, *cough me *cough *cough, you've got the soul of a grandma, but jokes of a dad...which can make things hard when you put yourself out there for the first time in a while.
7. Trying to politely keep the creeps away
Once word gets out that you're single and ready to mingle, it seems as though only the weird guys are interested...which is very comforting - not!
8. Knowing that good things comes to those who wait
Because at the end of the day, you love yourself and you don't need a man to define who you are.
