A Breakup and Some Advice

I recently have gone through a rough breakup, and I will spare you details. I will also try to be gender neutral with my advice, but I am a woman and thus my advice will probably be more helpful to other women.

  • Know when to walk away. I can't tell you how to know, but just know.
  • But don't beat yourself up because you stayed. No one says "Well this has been nice, let's end it now before it gets worse." It's okay that you fought.
  • Don't go back. It fucking hurts, and you will have those moments, but get some headphones, get some music (Nicki Minaj's "The Pinkprint" is what is helping me) and you stay the hell away.
  • It's okay to be sorry, it's okay.
  • It's okay to cry.
  • It's okay to drink a few times.
  • It's okay to eat some cake.
  • It's okay to flirt with other people just purely for fun.
  • It's okay to call your friend at one in the morning and cry.
  • It's okay.
  • Don't let someone hurt you twice.
  • If you are a bitch you own that and you be okay with it.
  • If you are emotional you own that and you be okay with it.
  • Go out, at least once to forget.
  • Focus on yourself, you are important.
  • Sleep alone, and while doing this realize you are doing it. Don't wish you were with someone else, realize how warm your blanket is, realize how big your bed is, realize that you are comfortable, and realize that it's okay to be happy by yourself.
  • Make some goals, for no one other than your damn self.
  • Listen to Beyonce. 
  • Curse, and vent, and yell, and bash, and enjoy yourself while you do it.
  • If you're like me, you will get spiky and cold and pretty bad ass, so you rock that.
  • And if you're the opposite and you get sad and emotional and express yourself with crying and become the sweetest little kitten, you rock that too.
  • Dress nice.
  • Do your makeup and hair nice.
  • Let you ooze yourself, you should be sweating you, whatever you is.
  • Fight.
  • Spit.
  • Scream.
  • Curse.
  • Don't take anyone's shit, you probably spent the entire relationship doing that.
  • Cry if you need to.
  • Stay in if you want.
  • Wear pajamas all day once a week and watch a movie, alone.
  • Deny the calls.
  • Delete the texts.
  • Don't let yourself become the "I don't want to be official but I still want you to be basically my partner without any of the hardships" one.
  • Don't go back.
  • Ever.
  • Never.
  • You deserve better, and you will give yourself better.
  • Realize that no one's perfect, and you weren't either.
  • But just because that's the case does not mean you have to forgive and forget everything.
  • Say sorry, and move on.
  • Forgive, but don't forget.
  • DON'T FORGET.
  • Music is important.
  • Channel EVERY SINGLE EMOTION into SOMETHING. Write, draw, play, dance, take those pissed off, sad, angry, pitiful feelings and you pour them into anything. (If you do, tweet me @IncoercibleLife or share it on tumblr or on my facebook because we can all be upset and inspired.)
  • You will get better. I promise. <3
