how to get over heartbreak according to al olender
Stop sharing locations with them.
Nourish your body. Eat pull-and-bake cookies and watch movies in bed and don’t convince yourself you have to do anything.
Try not to isolate. Send the same text to your best friend and say why why why couldn’t we make it work and then tell her she can come over. You don’t need to be alone. And you’re not too much. You are perfect.
Let it out. Cry to Fiona Apple. Cry to Sufjan Stevens. Scream NO ONE IS GONNA LOVE YOU LIKE I CAN by Laura Marling. Turn it up LOUD and let mascara run down your face and see how hot you are. Walk out in the night air listening to Damien Jurado and let it bring you back down to earth because every songwriter you love has immeasurable heartbreak and you’re just like your favorite songwriter. Emmylou and Gram Parsons sang LOVE HURTS TOGETHER REMEMBER.
Don’t forget this one. Cass would tell you do the same thing. Go. Dancing. In. The. City.
