Valentine's Day is officially over, and as some of you already know, things get weird with relationships around this time. I don't know why but sometimes people start to panic around this time a hastily break up with you. People are also disappointed with how their significant others handled the big day and that results in a break up too. The point is breaking up is a part of life and even though it hurts sometimes there are some ways that can make you feel a little better. Personally, I like to do three things if I've been dumped, and not particularly in this order. One is to dedicate a day to wallow and be depressed about the relationship that is now over. This might include devouring a lot of ice cream and watching sad movies, whatever floats your boat. But the deal is that after that day, you need to start to try to get over your pain. This is due to the fact that the truth is that heartbreak is unavoidable in life. More importantly, life will not wait for you to get your act together. The next thing I like to do is go out with my friends. Friends are always a good way to distract yourself and it would hep you to create different memories to focus on, instead of the ones with your ex. The other thing I like to do is listen to break up songs. Now that may seem counterproductive, like your dwelling on the relationship, but really it's about the types of break up songs that you listen to. If you listen to the sad ones which make you want to make up with your ex, then those are not the ones to go with. I recommend the ones that are a little angrier and especially the ones that make you feel as if the whole break up was your idea in the first place. Here are my 10 favorite break-up songs to listen to:
