Getting 'over' someone you're 'under'

Ahoy Blueberry crumbles!

First things first, all you perverts out there who have funny ideas after reading this post's title can say Buhbye, because for the love of God, I am NOT gonna talk about 'that'.

The title was inspired from F.R.I.E.N.D.S - TOW Ross Finds Out. Cutie-pie Ross listens to a message from his long-time crush Rachel where she says she's over him and an oblivious Ross manages to blurt out 'You're over me? When were you under me??' That had me laughing for quite some time. Its one of my fave scenes. :) *Sigh*
Back to the post now...

A dear friend of mine recently had her heart broken by none other than her Mr. Charming (who really isn't all that charming, if you ask me). So after a lot of consoling and the 'All-Men-Are-Dogs' phase, she finally asked me as to what she should do to get over this guy and I gave her the following three solutions. Read on fellas..



The Cuss


Now this one is the easiest of them all. JUST THINK BAD. That's it.

"He is a ^&*(*&^%$(@)"
 


or

"She is ({]*^&@&*@^@"

or

"He/She is so useless/worthless, I cannot believe I imagined spending millions of years and every rebirth with him/her. That (*^&%^&(#(#@"

You get it.

Constantly keep chanting it in your head. Build negativity. You will find yourself building a wall against him/her.

BUT
 the catch out here is, you will lose respect for him/her as well. Now whether you completely want to cut him/her off from your life depends on your scars and the type of hurt you have been inflicted. So, I'm warning you - use this method carefully.

Be rational. We all know 'your world has come crashing down' and 'you will never get anyone better' and 'you will never give your heart to anyone else' and all those things, but that gives you no right to go on a mental cursing spree.

So, for the ones who have thought it through and do wanna cut him/her from your life, bombs away.


THINK NOT...



This remedy is for the relatively strong headed ones. As the heading suggests, don't think about your heart break.

Now I know, some of you are going 'What the heck is she talking about? How can you NOT think about something you think about EVERY TIME?'

Yes yes. Hold your horses. As I said, this one's for the strong headed ones. Now these sort of people are brilliant. They seem to close up and tend to focus all of their energy into something else.
Some become workaholics.
Some dance like they never danced before.
Some start working out in the gym like they've taken steroids (Trust me, I've seen the sorts).

For some of them, this works wonders. For the less fortunate, they go back to the usual ways of healing their heart.

Personally, I haven't seen a very high success rate with this sort of heart healing process but it did work for a few and Kudos to them for being uber strong in tough times.

Now don't start fretting if you know you're not a strong headed person. For all you other broken birdies, you always have the next remedy.


Perfection? Really?


This little remedy is my personal favorite. Why? Well, because through this you DO tend to heal your heart AND you don't lose respect for that person.

Whats the secret formula, you ask? Well darling, lets break down for you then.

Now when your are in Love, some funny chemical reaction takes place and things suddenly start becoming more colorful and cheerful and beautiful etc. Basically, everything seems 'perfect' because of your Mr/Miss Perfect.

*ATTENTION PLEASE*

NO ONE IS PERFECT.

Its love that makes you believe someone is.

So, once your heart is broken, focus on the imperfection. Yes, it is hard to find 'em specially after experiencing an overdose of perfection, but you gotta try hard and find those imperfections.

"Oh my God! This guy drinks too much, too occasionally. Stupid Devdas, I have no intentions of being the next gen's Paro"

or

"She shops too often! She has enough clothes! For God's sake, if I was still with her, I would be broke"

or 

"She doesn't care! If I was lying bleeding to death in a hospital, her spa treatment would be more important"

or

"That workaholic man! He wouldn't be there for me even if I called him to say I was killing myself"
Jokes apart. I hope you get what I mean with the above examples. DO NOT mix this The Cuss. Here you do have a chance of redeeming some self-respect for the heart-breaker.

Focus on how those imperfections would be harming you. Give yourself importance during such times.

Don't brood.

Be smart, be selfish.


That's all folks. If my blog helped a few broken hearts or even brought a smile on your face, I am happy.

Everyone else, any other remedy for healing a broken heart, please write below. Share your secrets too.



P.S. My go-to method of heart healing is jumping in my fave pajamas and gorging down on a huge tub ice cream and sweets. Instant relief. ;)

I promise to write soon. Until next time, Adios Amigos.....
