After going through a recent breakup, I decided to make a list on what I did following it. My friend told me not to post this because I mainly say crying, but that was pretty much what I did 70% of the time.
1. Cry
That will probably be your first instinct. You will most likely cry. Especially if it’s a two and a half year relationship.
2. Spend as much as you can in bed
I’m only saying ‘can’ because I really wanted to stay in bed but could not. I had classes to get to and group projects to work on. All I really wanted to do though was stay in bed.
3. More crying
I can’t stop crying if I’m being honest.
4. Maybe being cliche and eating ice cream
Nothing wrong with being a total cliche. Ice cream is good.
5. Crying again
Are you surprised?
6. Thinking how much you suck
This might occur once or a few times. You will think that it was your fault, you’re the reason this relationship didn’t work. What did you do to have it not work?
7. Thinking you probably don't suck as much as you think
But then you realize that no. It is not your fault. You were not the reason.
8. Take a break and go away
I’m only saying this because I was fortunate enough that I was already going to Mexico that weekend. Going away and being with family is just what I needed. And it might be what you need too.
9. Crying once again
Are you surprised, again?
10. Finish up that crying
There might be a little left that you need to let out, and that’s okay.
11. Start feeling better
At one point, you know you will. It might not be today, tomorrow, and it might take a while. But you will.
