One More Thing...

Breaking up. Yeah, it sucks. GET OVER IT.
To those of you who will in the future end up having broken up with someone or had someone break up with you:

1. It happens to everyone. (Don't go and start thinking this is some special punishment reserved only for you.)
2. Nobody really cares, so don't complain about it. If you want to gripe, keep a diary or a blog or something.
   
3. Your friends are trying to HELP you. Talk to them. They will get you through. (Unlike your boyfriend/girlfriend, a true friend SHOULD be there when the relationship begins, and, if you haven't been completely awful to them, they will be there long after the relationship ends.)
4. If your friends ask you how you are, there is a reason. They can tell that something is wrong and are genuinely concerned for you. DO NOT, for ANY REASON, tell them that you don't want to talk to them, that nothing is wrong, that it isn't any of their business, that they don't understand, et cetera... They will eventually stop caring if you do.
5. DO NOT tell a friend who is trying to help by being there for you that they don't understand. This is obvious. It would be pointless for them to console you if they did understand. The whole point is that they are trying to understand and if you would actually explain what you are feeling instead of just telling them that they don't understand.
6. Get some yummy chocolate. Get a warm blanket. Get a good book. GET OVER IT.
7. Count yourself lucky that you ever managed to have a boyfriend/girlfriend. Some people, like myself, will never get that lucky. They (people like myself) will simply go their entire lives suffering the never-ending cycle of unrequited love until they die. Compare this one time that you have to GET OVER IT to the thousands and billions of times we unloved ones have to learn how to GET OVER IT. GETTING OVER IT is practically all wee know how to do.

I certainly know for a fact that getting over it is all I know how to do.
