You see, my boyfriend [of the last 5.5 years] and I broke up yesterday. However, don't worry about me, friends, I will be all right. I'm a pretty tough girl.
I seriously thought this would depress me, but it actually made me laugh!
Even though I consider myself a bit of an expert when it comes to relationships, I am still a geek. One of the first things I did when my pre-engagement disintegrated completely was look up how to handle a break up. The first credible source I found was this MSN/Cosmo article.
"Obsess over the break up...for 15 minutes."
This part struck a cord with me! I had been so prideful thinking: "Man, f*ck this break-up sadness sh*t. I don't give a f*ck!" However, though it is remarkable to stand strong through an ordeal like this, it is necessary to release that stress lest it eat you up inside.
So, I decided to come home and think about the epic fail of a relationship for a couple hours. I typically de-stress by listening to music that relates to the situation...
But there really isn't an app or website for songs relating to a specific situation, is there? Someone should totally do that! I should be able to click on "Break Up - Empowered" and hear Katherine McPhee's So Over It and other songs that make me feel empowered about a break up!
Just a thought... App Wizards, feel free to get rich off of it. I just could use it right now.
In the meantime, here are a few songs that have helped me recently:
- So Over It - Katherine McPhee
- Survivor - Destiny's Child
- So What - P!nk
- Return of the Mack - Mark Morrison
- Exhale - Whitney Houston
- Cry - Rihanna
- Somebody That I Used To Know - Gotye
- Real Love - Mary J. Blige
- Not Gon' Cry - Mary J. Blige
- Smile - Lily Allen
- Label or Love - Fergie
- It's My Life - No Doubt (my anthem lately)
"If your phone doesn't ring, it's me."
