30-Day Breakup Guide: Day 16

Sign Up For A Class
Even if the last time you were in an extracurricular class was when you were six years old and clutching the barre at Miss Lillycrumpet’s School of Ballet, you will sign up for something today. Feel like knocking someone out? Boxing lessons. Crave solitude? Sewing (you don’t even have to have your own machine). You’re not doing this as a step in a silly self-help book. You’re doing this to fill up some time, meet some people who are not your idiot ex, and maybe, possibly, find a hobby you like. Even if you never pick up another guitar (or camera, or French textbook) for as long as you live, you will have put yourself out there—even if failure is possible, if not probable. That shows some serious strength and character, lady. Enjoy that feeling.

Did you just go through a horrible breakup? Is your heart in a million little pieces? Whether you got dumped or did the dumping, splitting up with someone sucks. But have no fear, The Frisky’s 30-Day Breakup Guide is here! Once you’ve a good cry over the loss of your relationship, spend the next month working on yourself. We’ll be posting detailed instructions for the next 30 days to help you get over he-who-shall-not-be-named. There’s even a handy-dandy calendar to help you keep track of your progress. Now get to work!
