I am pretty sure that the majority of us have been in love at least once in ours lives, and it was probably the dumbest thing we've ever done. Why do we even fall in love? I don't see the point of it anymore. I just want to be in love with my pizza and cheat on it with my bed every night, is that to much to ask of the universe? Falling in love with people demands too much work and energy, and as a busy college student, I ain't got time for that. Seriously, when you fall in love you forget about everything but that one person and you are basically obsessed with them. You always want to be with them, do everything with them, and it is the end of the world when they leave you (moral of the story: they always leave).
Honestly, when you start feeling those butterflies in your stomach, it is an indication that your common sense is leaving your body. And that is at that exact moment that you should have just yelled "ABORT MISSION!" and ran as far as possible. Unfortunately, the heart wants what it wants and you are always going to fall for someone, whether you like it or not. Breakups are horrible, but it is not impossible to deal with. Sit back, relax, and let me take you through my breakup guide (approved by moi and guaranteed to heal you in just 24 hours).
1. Food Food Food!
Now, this is a classic, but trust me: every time my heart is broken, I always go back to food. You know why? Because food loves me for me. My food will never judge me. I might gain a few pounds here and there, but I don't care. I will fill the void in my heart with pizza and burgers. Worry about your weight when you're over your ex.
2. Turn the switch off
On some Vampire Diaries shit, you just get rid of all of your emotions and feel great again. How amazing life becomes when you don't care about anything in life. Become an emotional gangster and do you. Life is so much better when you don't react to shit anymore, you just become indifferent to the world that surrounds you, and have plenty of time to worry about you and only you.
3. Be petty
There is nothing wrong with being petty. If your ex hits you with something like "let's be friends!" you say no. Whatever, you have plenty of friends and do not need them. Be petty and delete them from all of the social media accounts and from your phone. In the long run, you are going to feel so much better because you won't be tempted to contact him or her and you will heal so much faster.
4. (Sad?) Music
Music is one of the best forms of therapy for every problem we have. Now, listening to sad music will only make you even more depressed - Instead of staying in bed and crying your heart out, why don't you listen to some #Lemonade? Or even better, listen to your favorite music and dance. Take all of the frustration, anger and sadness out of your body by shaking it.
5. Don't catch feelings
Last, but not least, just stop catching feelings? Train your heart so it won't fall in love ever again. This should be easy to do if you follow step 2. You learned your lesson, love hurts so you don't need it. Not having feelings or emotions will make your life so much easier, trust me.
