So they left. Maybe there was a huge fight, or maybe they just calmly said it. But no matter how it happened, the end is still the same. They left and it feels like the worst moment of your life.
They broke your heart. Yeah, you are going to cry. God, you are going to cry a lot. You may only get out of bed once the next day to get that cold pizza from the fridge, or maybe you just won't eat. Your pillowcase will be wet from tears and your friends will be checking on you. It's going to suck. It's going to be the hardest thing you deal with in this life. Because you loved them, maybe a little too much, and they took that and ran.
But let me tell you this.
Yeah, it is hard right now, but you need to get up. Put the song you guys loved on and just let your emotions control you. For three minutes just let that anger, sadness and confusion all out. Let it out.
The song will be over, and you may feel numb. You may cry a lot. But for that three minutes you felt OK. Hold on to that feeling of being OK, because you will need it for the next month or two.
Every day will get better. You wake up and your heart doesn't feel so heavy each time. You may see pictures -- they may get a new significant other and it will hurt like hell. But you are strong. You are beautiful. You mean the world to other people. You are still you. Do not let someone take your life when they leave. Hold on to your future. Even though right now you could never imagine being OK or having a future without them, you will. Simple as that. The pain won't be as sharp, it will just be dull. You will move on and someone will show you why it never worked out with them.
The truth of the matter is that everyone goes through this heartbreak. Everyone gets broken up with. We can either eat cold pizza and lay in bed every day or we can get up and learn how to deal with the pain. The faster you stop touching old wounds, the faster they will heal.
So get up, go dance around your room, go scream at their picture, eat what you want. But when that is over, go live your life again. Take control over your life because it is all you have. Do not lose yourself during this break up. Prove to them that you got this. That they may have broken your heart, but they did not take your drive. You will get up and live and love again.
You will be happy again. You will see joy in Valentine's Day. A new date will come along and that day will forever be special, just like the last. You will be OK.
We will all get through this. I promise.
