- You are much stronger than you ever thought. Picking up the pieces isn’t easy, but it is possible.
- Being sad is allowed. Being overly dramatic is not.
- The ugly tears–the ones that leave you snotty and sweaty and puffy and nauseous–are the best kind.
- It didn’t work out with this guy, and that sucks. But that doesn’t mean a better one isn’t out there. He is.
- Nothing good comes from getting back together. If it didn’t last the first time, it won’t last the second.
- Taylor Swift speaks to the soul.
- There is nothing worse than a jaded young person. So life kicked you down? Dust off your knees and get back up.
- Tequila is not your friend.
- You really, truly, honest to God do not need a man to be happy.
- Take note of who is sitting in your bedroom with you, passing you wine and cookie dough. Those are your real friends.
- You’re not dying. It feels like it, yes. But this will not kill you.
- Watching “The Notebook” on repeat is a Band-Aid, not a cure.
- Even Jennifer Anniston had her heart smashed into a million, tiny pieces. If she got through it, so can you.
- If he wanted you, he would fight for you–and he’s not. Let him go.
- Being on the receiving end of a drunk text does wonders for the ego.
- You will always have a place in your heart for your first love–a small, itty bitty, teeny tiny, nothing more than a memory place.
- There is no such thing as “winning” a breakup.
- Tear up the pictures. All of them.
- Get rid of his clothes. All of them.
- Delete the texts. All of them.

- He may not show it, but just know that this isn’t easy for him, either.
- There’s only a 50 percent chance that a one-night stand will make you feel better.
- The last thing you need right away is a new boyfriend. It’s okay to be by yourself for a little bit.
- Nobody likes the girl who cries at the bar. If you don’t think you can keep it together, stay at home.
- Exposing his every little secret makes the you bad guy, not him.
- If texting his mom was semi-acceptable before, it definitely isn’t now.
- You will either lose or gain a significant amount of weight. Either way, you’ll be shopping. A lot.
- A new haircut or hair color does wonders.
- Hacking into his Twitter, Facebook, or email is crazy person behavior. Under no circumstance is this allowed.
- You’re allowed to vent. You are not, however, allowed to talk about you and only you. Your friends have lives, too.

- There’s no shame in paying someone to listen to you talk. Plus, said person has a tendency to write prescriptions for things like Valium and Xanax.
- People will let you down. It will, however, happen a lot less if you learn now to rely on yourself.
- 99.99 percent of the population has gone through this before. You’re not special.
- Watch “The Real Housewives” on a loop. All of those bitches are divorced and they’re good as gold.
- Ice cream and wine for two weeks. Then it’s back to the gym. A fat ass is comfy to sit on–that’s it.
- Find the silver lining.
- Cursing the day he was born will do you no good. This relationship taught you something, so learn your lessons and move on.
