How to Heal a Broken Heart*

*Bigla na lang ako nagsesearch ng mga ganito sa internet. Napagod ako. Ang hahaba. *nosebleed* Pero mukhang makakatulong sya. So ayan, sa mga may sakit sa puso, try nyo isabuhay. Haha. Di porke pinost ko 'to, ano ha! Ano ha! Weh!

TIPS
1. Do not go on any dates with the person from whom you are trying to heal. This is not productive and will not lead to healing. There is no more closure. There is only healing.
-Oh…. Ok ok. No more closure? Eee.. Sabagay. Healing is the what I want, healing is what you give me.

2. When trying to heal do not accept phone calls and exchange flirty emails with the former object of your desire. This is also not productive and will only prolong the healing process.
-Ok fine. Madali lang ‘to. I don’t think I’ll receive phone calls or e-mails naman.

3. You are not healing from the broken heart your sweetie caused, to become more attractive to that person or to win that person back. When you catch yourself in this thought process, eat ice cream. (Note: Ice cream can be substituted for long walks or long swims or rough games of squash or R-ball) but in no way is anything you are doing targeted to get that person back. There is no getting back. The point is to get forward.
-So I’ll buy a drum of ice cream tonight, another drum tomorrow. Hehe.

4. Tell your friends once about your heartbreaking loss. If you cannot confine the discussion with your friends to one instance, confine the time spent discussing the gory details to no more than 1 hour actual time. You will need your friends later, so best to not wear out your welcome with them.
-Friends, listen, this is the story. Hehe. I am actually trying not to tell it to friends, but because of this tip, ok fine, storytelling na ito.

5. Do not eat too much, drink too much or do drugs to get over your broken heart, unless of course that is how you always act, in which case it is important to remember that a lot of things change in 2 years. If you can change your ideal of self-honesty and acceptance in those next two years for the better, then you will have better odds of finding someone who will want what you want at the same time as you want it. It's all about timing really.
-What kind of drugs ba? Kailangan ko talaga to? My gawd. Don’t eat too much? So puro ice cream lang ganyan? Drink too much? Ok guys, inuman na ‘to!!!!

WARNING!

1. If you are feeling depressed or suicidal, talk to your doctor immediately!

-Magastos naman. Ok, bawal ang suicide. Ahaha. Nu ba, di ko yun gagawin.

2.If you do not recover in 2 years time, and it still hurts really bad, try moving towns.

-First on my list, Fiji! Hehe. Honestly, naisip ko na ‘to. Haha. Let’s see.

3. Smart people who are psychologists will say, everyone heals at their own pace. The bruised and wounded heart makes one a more compassionate human, and it is that self-compassion which if nurtured will allow you to heal.

-Napatambling naman ako dun sa smart people who are psychologists! Compassionate naman ako, so ibig ba sabihin madali na ang healing? I wish I wish!
