Status Updates From It's Called a Breakup Becau...

“In the end, only you can make you happy.”

“Its time to figure out what you want. Loving yourself and feeling complete isn’t about catching a man—that’s an added bonus that comes later. Your emotional growth and well-being should start with you, not someone else, and it should be for you, not someone else.”

“You are the prize, the sun, the moon, and the stars.”

“We know you may not believe it now, but this breakup is the best thing that ever happened to you because he was not “The One.” So why not dress for the occasion?”

“But you know what? We weren’t put on this planet alone. Sometimes you just have to accept that you don’t have all the answers and that you can’t fix everything.”

“How you handle it when you make a mistake is more important than the mistake itself.”

“And you know what else I realized? He was not sitting around wondering what I was thinking, feeling, or doing, so why the f*#k was I wasting my time? Sometimes the cold reality is that guys just aren’t thinking about us at all.”

“So if you really want to know what he’s thinking, it’s probably this: He feels bad about hurting your feelings, he misses you sometimes and even thinks of calling, but ultimately he is relieved that it’s over.”

“It’s a harsh reality, but the truth is that he was already partially or even totally over it before you even knew it was going down.”

Go back for that brownie recipe

“If you pay attention to your negative thoughts, you’re only affirming their validity. Those thoughts are like a bratty child—if you pay attention to the bad behavior, it only encourages a bigger tantrum.”

“You may not have him, but you have something far more valuable right now—your friends.”

“So MapQuest your ass on the road to recovery—not Sadville, population Drunky the Clown, aka: YOU.”

Calling me out for downing that whole thing of Hagen Daas

Good list!

Gotta go back later and get this ringtone haha

“”Keep in touch and let me know how you’re doing” doesn’t actually mean that. The real translation is “I feel bad about this and hope you’ll be okay, but I’m moving on.” And therefore, so should you.”
