This list is great. It seems like it would be intuitive, but going through the heartbreak seems like the only thing in the world.
Now that I am coming through to the other side, it is good to remember that I WILL love again. Joss Stone’s “Bruised bu Nor Broken” is on repeat…

#6 - These Things Take Time.
I needed to hear that! I’ve been feeling stupid for taking so long to get over a guy that I wasn’t with for very long. It was a very short but passionate relationship, and he hurt me very badly, so it’s nice to hear someone besides my girlfriends telling me I’m allowed to take all the time I need.

very good article… i too have been going thru a “undecided” break-up and really don’t know where the relationship stands at the moment- but we are definitely giving it time and hoping that everything gets better because i LOVE HIM… sooo good luck to everyone going thru a mixed up break up.

You can only stay on your knees so long before you realize that if you want your prayers answered you better get off your knees and do something about it.

I am too busy to be upset, watch movies, or eat ice cream. FML.
