Breakups are literally no fun, and it's easy to fall into a depressive episode if we're not careful. Through my span of s**tty breakups, I've created 15 rules to combat a bad breakup. Here's to you girls who need a little extra help:
1. Keep wearing those yoga's: comfort is key
Buy that cute Victoria's Secret sweatsuit to wear around the house JUST so you can clean up his mess. You'll look good, and feel good too.
2. Go ahead: post that corny ass song lyric on Facebook
Who cares if anyone is judging, or you get a couple angry reactions. If it makes you feel better, do it!
3. Netflix & chill...by yourself
Get a tub (yes, a TUB) of ice cream, put on those ratty pajamas, and watch cheesy chick flicks, such as Clueless or Legally Blonde.
4. Get motivated to work your ass off, like Elle Woods at Harvard
Check your bank account to see if you can afford her wardrobe. Realize you can't, and eat your heart out in rocky road ice cream.
6. Decide you want to get a tattoo with your best friend
Realize you're too anxious to go through with it right away. Besides, it does need progressive planning, since you're scared of commitment now.
7. Start a drinking game... with yourself
Every time you are reminded of him, take a shot. You're bound to get drunker than any game of Kings Cup ever. Guaranteed.
8. Change up your hairstyle
Realize you don't want to change it because it's really cute the way it is, but you NEED change because you're constantly reminded of his hollow compliments. Then cry because you miss him.
9. Replace your "f***ing guys" playlist with "f*** guys"
Go ahead, scream Beyonce's "Run the World Girls" in the shower, regardless if your neighbors or roommates hear. LET them hear you. This is your anthem now.
10. Download tinder and message other guys, then delete it
Realize that you don't have time for relationships. It's your time now. Get it, girl.
11. Be with your girls
Tell your friends you hate your ex and get mad and defensive when they hate your ex too. You deserve that right. But, you need to believe your friends when they say they knew your ex was trouble, and that you deserved better. You did.
12. Go to the nearest store, and buy some wine
Become a wine connoisseur. Red wine is good for the heart, especially a broken one.
13. Start working out, because you're now all about YOU!
*Bonus* You'll lose weight, feel great, post millions of progress pictures, and he'll see what he's missing.
14. Spend time with family
More than likely, your fam spotted that crappy relationship from a mile away, and now is your chance to make up for lost times.
15. Prepare for the only battle you should be fighting for: your hopes and dreams
Do you, babe. Love yourself.
