Girl's Guide to Breakin' Up



Have you ever noticed that after a break up, there are certain things that most every girl does in order to process, cope and move on. Here's a short list of the items that I have found in my experience to be part of my post-relationship emotional guidebook. I would love to hear what's on your list.

*Crying- Regardless of who made the choice to call it off.
*Lack of interest in shaving of legs- What's the point?
*Best Friend re-hash- Must go over every detail with the best friend. EVERY detail. 
*Journaling- Lots of writing to ensue once girlfriends' ears are beginning to ring. 
*New-found affinity for tea and general contemplation- Chai, in my case.
*Empowerment- Songs like "I Will Survive" return to the playlist...and they work.
*Drastic measure- I am skydiving in a week.
*Change in appearance- Usually a haircut. I will see your haircut and raise you new glasses. 
*Time off- Date free for a while.
*Reflection of lessons learned.
*Relationship and Repeat (hopefully not forever).
