Things I Hate About Breakups...

Not that I've been through very many, but this most recent one has brought to light a few trends that I officially despise:

1. All the crying
2. The weight gain from the excessive ice cream indulgence
3. When everyone and their dog has to ask you "What happened?!"
4. The rest of the crying
5. The inevitable giving back of his stuff (SO awkward)
6. The awesome songs you can no longer listen to
7. The bitterness at seeing other peoples' happiness (esp. when those people are your roommates)
8. The first time you go out with someone else and do WAY too much comparing
9. A little bit more crying
10. The random occurrence of heartache when something reminds you of when things were good...

I really don't like breaking up. I especially don't like being broken up with. But I do enjoy the part where I get my life back together and look twice as good as I did before and he feels like an idiot. Yeah, I like that part.

Another one bites the dust...

Alex, I'm So Sorry! I hated breaking up too! It seriously is the worst. After nearly 2 years of marriage, I STILL can not listen to Jason and Mine's "song"! Sad right?! It will get better though, have hope! And... Something I did to make myself feel better after was, go have a "pamper" day. Make yourself look soooooooo good and hopefully you'll run into him, and act like nothing's wrong. Just dont let him see you cry... I love you!!!

you are so funny.

And yeah, the right one will come along and then all the breakups and stupid boys were all worth it so that you can appreciate how amazing "the right one" really is!

I did way too much crying, and throwing up (that happens when I cry too hard for too long), eating raw brownie batter, yep, all that stuff. And I definitely know what you mean about not being able to listen to some of your favorite songs because they remind you of him or it was a song he introduced you to.

Or even having a hard time going to certain spots on campus or to certain restaurants because you went there with that guy.

But once you find the one that you get to keep, all the other boys don't matter, and it doesn't matter where you went with the other guys or what songs you listened to... all that will matter is you and the love of your life that you get to keep for all eternity.

Hang in there Alex. It is so worth all the breakups until you meet the guy you never have to be without!

Love, Jordan
