Been spending a lot of time with my silly white girls who keep getting their hearts broken. Came home today with monster heartburn from all the condolence junk food and the smell of her 5 dogs and 2 cats stuck on me - despite the shower I took before I left. Pugs are cute, in a horribly revolting way. Wrestled with Dexter, the puppy who already matches my size and who went Kujo on her when she pointed at his face. Home... The smell of my house is the same as when we first moved in, but it takes a night spent elsewhere to really sense it again. Immediately washed my hands, brushed my teeth, made some tea, drank some milk, and recharged my phone. In conclusion, How to Endure a Break-up/Separation 101: - Eat, even if your appetite is gone. Consume whatever the hell you want (expensive fudge, frozen coffee drinks, chips, chocolate), as long as it's edible, in as much quantity as is possible. Need to release the serotonin! - Watch sappy movies, including hours-long epic Hindi films (Kal Ho Naa Ho and Veer Zaara) and classics like Titanic or Moulin Rouge. Throw in a random comedy such as The Importance of Being Earnest for a well-deserved laugh. - Surround yourself with friends or animals or whatever makes you happy. - Get some beauty rest, even if you're an insomniac or if you've ingested inhumane amounts of caffeine. - Shower, nothing beats feeling clean! And smelling nice. |
