Love and heartbreak can share a few of the same symptoms, can't sleep, can't eat, and you find yourself staring into space. Heartbreak however can be diagnosed by a few differences to include but not limited to swollen puffy eyes, tear stained cheeks and the ache is your chest to simply breath.
Lucky for you there is a cure. How many times you will need to "take" this dose of medicine or better known as the "healing treatment" will depend on the depth and size of the break in your heart.
The first step is dressing for the occasion, pulling on the sweatpants that are worn a little thin from being old and your "fav" for 10 years, the oversized college sweatshirt from your freshman year, your hair pulled back in a messy pony, and all makeup removed.
Next you set the atmosphere; lights dim or off your preference, build a fire, light a few candles, you grab that blanket but not just any blanket "big fuzzy". You settle on the couch and sink deeper into the cushions hoping to suffocate the pain. You turn on the TV and searching, searching you find it; The Notebook. With the remote still in hand you click "mute" because you know every word to the movie by heart.
Now you are ready for the medicine, the music that will heal your heart and soul.
WAIT….something is missing!! I almost forgot a "crucial" step, the gallon of ice cream. Jumping from the couch and racing to the freezer then feeling a wave of relief as you realize it's there wait for you. You return to your position on the couch with the moose traxs in hand and the spoon. Not a standard spoon but the one for just such an occasion; the serving spoon!
Now your really ready. You search your iPhone and select the bluetooth setting which indicates "connected" to your mini bose, you find the "broken heart blues" playlist and hit "play".
