Break up with someone.

If your gut is telling you to break up with this person, do it.

Do it even though it will hurt them.

Do it even though you will watch them sob and beg for you back.

Do it because its the right thing to do, not because its the nice thing to do.

Sometimes, you have to be selfish.

With growing up, comes growing apart from other people who you used to be close with.

Call them up and tell them how you feel.

Fight with a loved one.

Fight with your significant other or with a friend.

Really scream at them and ball up your fists.

Punch a wall or a door.

Throw their clothes out of the house and light them on fire.

Go fucking crazy and let all of your repressed emotions out.

And let them do the same.

Tell someone you dont love them anymore.

Its a terrible thing to say.

But if its how you feel, you should probably do it.

so you can move on.

In order for them to move on.

Say, I dont love you anymore.

Only say if you mean it.

Learn how to forgive yourself for this and know that you arent perfect.

Tell a secret you swore you wouldnt.

I know, its an awful thing to do especially to a best friend or to a loved one.

But this will show you that you arent perfect.

This will show you that you will fuck up and make mistakes all the time.

And so will everyone.

Sleep with your ex.

Sleep with your ex and enjoy it.

Enjoy toying with their emotions.

Enjoy them enjoying you.

Then realize that they still love.

And realize that you dont.

Curse yourself for leading them on.

Now learn to not do it again.

Learn how to treat people like people, not just like they are only bodies.

Betray someone you care about.

Maybe you didnt know all the facts.

Maybe you didnt realize you were doing it.

Maybe you were naive or stupid or drunk.

But what happens after this, is learning how to be kind to yourself even after this.

Break someones heart and watch them hurt and crumble.

Watch them hate you and tell them that they wished they had never met you.

In this, you will learn that in life not everyone will like or love you.

And you will not like or love everyone.

Realize that in doing this, you are not the devil.

Youre still human and they will be okay.

Fuck up at the job you hate.

Literally stop giving a fuck, because this job is causing you misery and angst.

And in this, youll learn to never accept that youll hate ever again.

Break your own heart.

Mess up over and again.

Treat a significant other terrible.

Break your own damn heart.

But never stop learning.

Never stop learning from the failures and the mistakes and the heartbreaks.

Learn how to love yourself despite it all.
