Your Breakup Survial Guide

Cry your eyes out, no one is judging you.

Your Breakup Survial Guide

Cry.

Realize you are going to cry and thats okay. Cry whenever you want, wherever you want, no one will judge you everyone has been there.

Listen to that break up song as many times as you want.

My playlist consists of "We Don't Talk Anymore", "I will Survive" and "Sorry" because I like to feel sad and strong.

Don't let anyone force you to do something you are not ready for.

If you are not ready to date don't. Don't push yourself, thats okay, there is no time limit on moving on.

But don't become a hermit

Sitting home alone for weeks is not going to help, stay home a night or two but let yourself go out get dressed let your friends make you smile.

But remember you won't find closure at the bottom of that tequila bottle.

Take it from me, getting so drunk you give yourself a concussion will not make you feel better.

Realize it might not be possible to be friends with your ex.

You are probably losing if not one of your best friends. You will miss them, but talking to them everyday won't help you at all. You will never move on if you don't let them go

Do something for yourself

Get your nails done, cut your hair, spend may to much on a pair of shoes, hell get yourself a matching bag because you deserve nice thing, and you are an independent woman who doesn't need a man to take care of her

Surround yourself with your best friends.

They get it, they know how bad it hurts, and they love you so let them heel you.

Be angry.

Break something, take kickboxing, scream at the top of my lungs, you'll thank me later.

Don't go backwards.

DO NOT HAVE SEX WITH YOUR EX NO ONE WILL FEEL GOOD, YOU WILL CRY AND IT WILL BE THAT MUCH HARDER TO MOVE ON.

Memories Suck.

For some reason all you can remember is the good times. There is a reason you broke up think about those reasons, don't think about that one time when everything was perfect because thats not the truth.

Love yourself.

Because you are so worth it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
