Don’t Date While Healing

Here are a few antidotes to get you through a lonely season.

Feel.

Don’t pretend that you are not hurting. She made a fool of you. He broke your heart. You feel like putting one in-between his eyes. All the signs were there that she was up to no good but you were a ‘happy mumu’. You loved him too much to let go and so he bullied and bashed you for three long years or more and then dumped you like rotten potatoes, so you’ve every right to be sad and disappointed in yourself. I mean, how could you have let a man do that to you? Own up, you messed up big time. He was an SOB and you curse the day you met him. It’s all good to let it all hang out. You gotta feel it to heal it. Now you know. So. Go on, feel it and start healing. Bawl, cry, pound your pillows, bring it on. Face your fears no matter the time of the day, even if  the demons of loneliness hit at 1 a.m.

Wait patiently, let the tears flow, heal from the inside out, that way you will not rush into another relationship out of desperation, trying to kill loneliness from outside in.
