Turning the Page:A Break Up Guide for Dummies.

If you're going through a break up,you might wanna read this.

I was happily in love with a person who annoyed me three fourths of the time and who gets mad at me in the same frequency.Everyday is like a breakup story.And everyday is a makeup story.That's love there,eh?:)

As a breakup's favorite customer,I have these for you.there are no shortcuts,so don't attempt to skip any of them:

1.You need a stable bank account. You will definitely say yes to all the happenings you're being invited to.Moreso,you're likely to sponsor it,coz you need company during this times.Also,frappucinos will always be on your everyday menu...and they don't come cheap.

2.If you're on prepaid,load up monthly to avoid sim deactivation.If you're on postpaid,adjust your subscription.This is self explanatory.

3.Make sure to visit the doctor.Either your nicotine levels are up,or your liver is soon considering a regeneration stage just to survive.

4.Ok to surround yourself with other broken hearts,for comfort and belongingness...but have that objective conversation with people who are not.You need to take down notes for your next lover.

5.If you're not ok,don't pretend you are.If you're ex is posing a happy vibe,you need not to replicate.This is not a contest.Again,there are no shortcuts in moving on.

6.Unless the culprit was a third party,do not close your doors.If your ex comes back and want to fix things with you,as long as you are still inlove,consider it.Give it a try.If it was your fault,stretch yourself and win him or her back.You will look pathetic,but that's fine.No double standards if you want to be happy.Just do it.

7.Don't rush yourself to move on.The time you spend grieving is the amount of love you have for this person.If you speed up the process,you will be bitter later on coz you weren't able to process everything.It will all be subjective.And whatever was your contribution to the breakup,will just happen again on your next relationship.Got clue where it will head to?

8.When you tell your friends what happened,please narrate both sides.This way you can get a real and valuable 3rd person view.

9.Mingle.But make sure you double up in the getting to know stage.This is to avoid rebound plays.And no casual sex please.

10.Go to church alone.Pray.It helps to speak with someone who doesn't talk back but has the power to calm you and clear your mind.

Going through a painful thing such as a breakup has no shortcuts.

Just like a wound,
*Dressed with a gauze in it's early stage. *Left in open air once it closes.
*Should not be touched while healing.
*Peel off dead skin once dry.
*Recover and ignore the scar it leaves.
...then a new beginning--with no guarantees of not having another one.That's reality.

But on your next chance at happiness,be that first timer and experience the thrill all over again and be that veteran who has gone wiser enough to make it work this time around. :)

*I wrote this a year ago for a friend.Now I tweaked it a lil bit,coz it's now applicable...again.*

Happy Single blessedness,universe!:)
