To anyone who was recently heartbroken,
I know you are an emotional mess right now, and you have every right to be. Your friends are going to try to cheer you up, say you are better off without the person you are no longer attached to, and push you to get out in the dating world before you are ready. I would like to offer you something when you are having those moments of solitude.
Music is a great source of therapy. Finding the right songs to help you through the many phases post-breakup will make you feel better as time goes on. I have compiled a playlist just for you to enjoy, no matter how you are feeling about your ex. Some of these songs you may feel belong in a different category, which might be true. I just know that's where I would personally place them, but feel free to arrange this for your personal listening pleasure.
The "Sad" Breakup Songs:
1. Poison "Every Rose Has It's Thorns"
2. Boyz II Men "End of the Road"
3. No Doubt "Don't Speak"

Now, I know it will take some time to get over your ex, but at least you know exactly what you need to listen to to help you out. I hope this helps give you a little bit of closure, maybe even introduce you to a few new songs. Oh, and if you need anything (a hug, more song suggestions, a place where you can go to break stuff), please don't hesitate to ask. I am pretty resourceful.
Take care of yourself,
Casey Leigh :^D
I have a personal fav that fits in Angry & moving on... She Fucking Hates Me - Puddle of Mudd. Funny thing is it came out right after my second ex broke up with me and started screaming at me on a daily basis. It quickly became her theme song!
ReplyDeleteAnd somehow I totally missed it in your nagry section... oops.
ReplyDeleteI blame the fact that the word "fucking" is not part of the song title, even though it's very much in the song!
ReplyDeleteYeah, yeah, I blame that too. *shifty eyes* It has nothing to do with my lousy reading skills. *nods*
ReplyDeleteAnd I fricking typoed angry on my second comment. I always do something stupid when I comment on your blog that makes me look foolish. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThe moving on section totally needs Bob Dylan's "Don't Think Twice It's Alright."
ReplyDeleteBEST. BREAKUP. SONG. EVER.
Go listen. Now!
I like Cold Hard Bitch- Jet for the moving on section too.
