The Cycle...

Of when you have your heart ripped out, shredded to pieces, spat on, rolled in the dirt and handed back to you:

* Sob in the shower/into your pillow/intermittently for 1 - 6 days.
* Beg to undo the damage approximately twice a day.
* Get angry and throw stuff.
* Stop eating.
* Block it out and keep insanely busy.
* Remember and go back to the sobbing.
* Block it out again.
* Drink.
* Get really super angry.
* Resume eating, in one bite-per-day diet form.
* Sob in the back of a car.
* Shake it off.
* Put on a fabulous outfit.
* Get out with quality people.
* Shop.
* Cry.
* Eat some chocolate.
* Wake up one morning realizing it is, surprisingly, better this new way.
* Do a massive gym workout, wash your hair, clean your face and refuse to continue sobbing.
* Throw yourself back into study/work/life with a timed schedule that doesn't let you even consider for one second all the crap.
* Realize it's slowly leaving your head anyway. Be open to relapses. But know that it's getting better. And:
* Win. At everything.
