surviving the experience: Broken hearts...

Heart breaks, everyone has them... and let me tell you. They suck! A while ago I really liked this guy and I saw pictures of him on Facebook with some friends and he was in a couple of these pictures with a girl. It pretty much killed me. Stab right through the heart.

It can be really hard to deal with a broken heart but there are ways to make your self feel better about it.

Get rid of negative thoughts. This one can be a toughy... sometimes you think about the person and just hate them. Now, heart breaks are just apart of life. I totally understand that it hurts but plotting revenge is not ok. You need to deal with your thoughts appropriately sometimes the person didn't mean to do what they did. Understand how the other person may have felt or how they feel now. You also need to get rid of bad thoughts about your self too! This is a big one. Don't ever think "I just wasn't good enough for him" "He hates me." "I will be forever alone" "I should just give up" Uhhh.... NO! Stop thinking that right now. You are an amazing person, it was just time for you both to move on. It can be really hard sometimes.
Surround yourself with good friends. Have good friends with you that love and support you. You need them now more than ever! A big no no: Never gossip about your ex because it will spread like fire. Everyone will know and guess what? It will cause more drama and I'm sure that's the last thing you need. Just have fun with your friends! Don't whine all the time, be the same you. I understand that you may be upset but don't take it out on your friends. Hey, if you need to have a movie night with your girls and you need someone to cry with. Go for it, but don't over do this. You need to move on and be happy! Joke and laugh with your friends. Get that person off your mind and smile!
Listen to music. A couple sad songs? Sure go for it. T-Swift? Sure! But, after a couple of sad songs turn up the music and blast some happy tunes!! Don't be all sad... your just torturing yourself. Phineas and Ferb soundtrack is one of my favorites. It's funny and silly. Perfection! So grab some friends, turn up the volume, and dance your little hearts out.
Be kind. Be kind to your Ex, your friends, your family, strangers! Just be kind!! Just because you had a rough day it doesn't mean you should have harsh feelings towards anyone. You need to be nice to the person who broke your heart because, chances are, they feel awful about it. Just be kind, become friends again. I promise it will pay off in the end.
Relax. Just calm down, take a deep breath, and relax. Watch a funny movie, take a nature walk, paint your nails, brush your hair. Just do something that relaxes you!
Realize your not alone. Many people have heartbreaks all the time!

Here are some songs that kinda helped me through sad times. But remember to get out the fun songs after, ok?? No pity parties here!! :)
