Maybe in the Future...

Has your heart ever been broken? Have you ever felt like curling up in a corner because a boy hurt you?
Is the answer yes?
Mine too.


Lets face it girls, boys can suck sometimes. But never fear for I have developed a good way to get over those fickle boys.
Here is a practical guide to wallowing after heartbreak.


1. The first thing you want to do after the heartbreak is, as soon as possible, get into something comfortable. Pajamas, sweats, supportive bras, you get the picture. 


2. Comfort food. Mac'n'cheese, soup, or something along the lines of those yummy dishes. 


3. Chocolate. This has a category of its own because it is essential to a heartbroken girls survival. I discovered this recently. Just trust, it works miracles. 


4. At this point you need to find the most comfortable spot in the house to curl up and eat. 


5. Turn to music. I think music helps more then cheesy chick-flicks. When the movie ends you get a new wave of depression because the characters you have been living vicariously through have vanished. Music allows you to listen and do things to get your mind off it or to just sit and agree with the lyrics. 
Heres some of the songs that helped me.  


-Break even by The Script
This song captures the exact way heartbreak feels. It made me feel not so alone. 
-Original of the Species by U2
This song was so soothing. It is just a promise of love and care. Beautiful
-The Weary Kind from the soundtrack of Crazy Heart
The ton is perfect for a depressed mood. Plus I start crying every time I hear it. 
-Arms by Christina Perri
I felt this way. I felt exactly this way. 
-Mirrors and Smoke by Jars of Clay
This is a song about saying goodbye to someone you loved. It has a ton of resignation that strengthened me.


6. Stay away from movies or music that have to do with death. That subject is to morbid for an already depressed psyche. 


7. Do not wallow for an extended period of time. In my opinion a day is long enough. Next day you can still be down and out but get busy. Paint or go for walks or work, just do something to get your mind active and not so morbid.


8. This should be the first one but I thought I'de save it for last. Pray. Lean as far as you can into God. He is the perfect dream boat lover, so you can put as many expectations on him and He will prove over and over to you how he will love, hold, care for, die for, and woe you. Willingly run to him and He will put your pieces back together.


Sometimes life is hard to deal with, but love is harder to deal with. Strive for God and you will be happy, no matter who's hand you hold or don't hold.
