Summertime Sadness

So it's taken me a long time to come about to writing this, but I think I'm past the pain and suffering of heartbreak. Yes, I'm gonna talk about it. But no, it's not going to be your atypical "let's talk about it".

Everyone experiences it in varying amounts. From the ice cream binging to the complete denial, post-break up is always apparent. But you know what? It isn't all bad. Post-break up is all about you. It's your "me time", which gives you a lot of time to explore, improve, and strengthen yourself for the next fish to find. 
And that "me-time" can include anything, from traveling, exercise, or fucking a lot of people. I chose eating, which may not be the healthiest of coping devices, but it helped because it helped me feel sane and comforted. And that's really all that mattered. Of course, now I have to work off everything I've put on, but at least it helped. 

While you may feel self conscious or pathetic post-break up, you shouldn't. You certainly shouldn't be looking for other romantic relationships during this period, especially because you aren't ready or completely sane to do so, so who cares what you look like to the opposite/same gender. Besides, everyone goes through it, so it should be understandable.

I've eaten the bag of crackers thinking I've eaten about a million, but when I look into the box, there's only about a billion more. Now weirdly excited that I can eat so many and there will still be a lot less, I don't worry about how much I stuff in my mouth. In an hour's time, I've eaten the whole box and feel a little disappointed because I've eaten all my snacks so fast.
