Get Over It

So it happened. And whether it's the first time or the hundredth it still hurts. I'm a firm believer that the power of music can help us get through anything. It's a melodic reminder that someone else has been there. Someone has felt the way you feel right now and made it through without dying of a broken heart.

For my own benefit - blogs are mostly for selfish gain, right? - I've put together a list of songs that are helping me get out of bed every morning. This list is a good mix of tunes that will make you cry in realization and others that will make you smile with hope, reminders that someday you'll laugh about this whole situation and that life will be good and love abundant. Hopefully if anyone else out there is going through a break up this list will help. And please don't hesitate to submit songs of your own. I know they will help.

So when you feel like picking up the phone and making a desperate call or sending a not-so-classy text, check out a few of these songs. It might make you change your mind, setting you well on your way to a happier you.
