Not sure if this belongs in this discussion bored, but I wasn't sure where else to put it...Recently, I have found that listening to empowering break up songs has really helped me. And by empowering, I mean, empowering, not songs talking about how much you miss the guy or girl..After doing a ton of google searches and spending wayyy too many hours on youtube, I came up with a list of songs that might be helpful. I downloaded them all, put them on my ipod and put them in their own playlist. that way, when I start to think about him, or miss him, I listen to the songs and it makes me feel A LOT better.
If you guys have anymore, feel free to share them!
So, without further ado, he is my list that I created (not all are break up songs, some are just empowering, feel good, kind of songs):
