10 Steps to Dealing With a Breakup

1. cry. cry so hard that it feels like you will never be able to breathe again. (spoiler: you will be able to breathe again.)
2. tell all of your friends. you're going to want all of the people around you that you can get. 
3. change their contact in your phone to something nasty. it will make you feel better. 
4. delete their number. 
5. rip that down that picture of the two of you smiling in the photo booth at the movies but only tear off their face to show yourself that you can still be happy without them. 
6. cry again when you see the spot where you shared your first kiss. 
7. destroy that spot but then plant a flower there. good things can grow from bad places. 
8. realize that although they were your first love, they are not the only love you will ever experience. 
9. do not give yourself away to the first person that comes along, you will just end up back at step one again. 
10. remember who you were without them. you were and are still whole.
