When you are going through a breakup, everything is going to remind you of your ex. It is inevitable. When I was going through my breakup with Sam every time I saw the store he worked at, I thought of him. This was very difficult because I come from a really populated area, where this store is insanely common. As I continue to deal with my breakup with Max, every time I see a black Chevy, the car he drove, I am reminded of him. And to tell you the truth I see those A LOT. The question I always ask myself is, how do I handle these reminders? Every time I feel a wave of pain and sadness, what do I do? Well, I started following a great piece of advice from a blog I read. The advice was to find a way to laugh at a painful situation. Look for something humorous in the darkness. It makes the pain a tiny bit better, which is many situations is all I can ask for. I know this advice may seem a little generic and cliche, but trust me when I say it works and is true. A good sleep and laugh are two of the best cures for anything, and many times a breakup brings sleepless nights, so look for a way to laugh and smile. Read a funny book, I suggest Amy Poehler's book Yes Please, watch comedy on YouTube, catch an episode of Modern Family, or look at silly old pictures of you and your friends (not with the ex though)! Do what you can to laugh and try and remember that one day your smile will return, and you will make it through the pain you feel.
