Surviving a Storm

You've probably seen this a million times from movies to actual events, from friends or even personal experiences, one thing leads to another. First, it feels like you own the whole world, the next thing you knew everything's shattered. You can't contain the pain, it always finds it way to the surface. It shows in your actions but most of all it shows on your face. You can't plug out those never ending streams of tears from your eyes. It seemed BREAKING UP is really hard to do.

a question pops:

"HOW AM I GOING TO SURVIVE?"

answer:

By facing your normal life without your ex one day at a time like everybody else. Concentrate on your studies/work, hang out again with your friends you've neglected and take in the following tips I've read in a magazine years ago;

A. STAY AWAY FROM YOUR MOBILE PHONE

Never underestimate the new technology, it may store your million pictures, play all your stored songs but it still is that little sneaky device used for communication. Store it away on a cabinet, under lock and key then have your mom hide the key in a place she knows you can't find because for one thing, once you've stared at your phone long enough it starts to cloud up your mind the next thing that happens you're dialing your ex's number sobbing like crazy asking him/her to take you back. Remember the golden rule of breaking up "Once is Enough!"

B. NEVER ASK FOR ALL THE THINGS IN YOUR EX'S PLACE

The love letters you've sent, those plushy teddy bears, all the photo frames with your pictures on it, the love fern. (love fern?) Its another classic maneuver of communication just like the "cellphone" thing but more on the personal level. Do you really want to be seen by your ex look like hell as you exchange hateful words and pathetic excuses as it leads you begging on your knees? I don't think so! Get this hard and straight, whats left in your house that belongs to your ex is yours and vice versa, there's no need to bring it back, here's the best way to deal with it which brings us to the next tip;

C. BURN ALL HIS/HER THINGS

The love letters, don't even bother reading them again, two words "BURN THEM!". Them plushy teddy bears? get a real sharp scissors and start tearing them to pieces and then trow em into the blazing flames. All those pictures? look at them for the last time but don't shed a tear dear, instead, wear a sly grin on your face as you toss them one by one over the burning decapitated teddy bears.
