Things to not do in times of Break up Apocalypse

Look at pictures/read letters/reminisce and cry.
Stare at very pricey and obviously non-refundable plane ticket and cry. Not because it was pricey, but because it won’t be used, and it embodied all your hopes.
Dwell on the notion that no one, ever, can live up to her.
Break useful household things that a little superglue won’t fix.
Wish that there was some sort of relationship superglue.


Things to do:

Purchase pile of thick engrossing novels for that instant vicarious feeling of having something to get up for.
Remember to eat from time to time, and not just pre-digested slush or cereal.
Not assume that friends don’t care. Of course, some will say that timeisagreathealer, and that youllgetoveritsoon, but the proper friends won’t.
Remind yourself constantly that It wasn’t working, wouldn’t have worked, can’t work, won’t work. Try and believe it a tiny bit more. Try some more.
Try and sell ticket on ebay to some homonym who also shares your date of birth and passport details.
