    This list is designed to break you out of that feeling exactly. When you get stuck in that feeling, like you can't get out, and you can't stop thinking about them, performing some of the actions on this list will bring you out of that mode and help you see that there is happiness without them.

    Go for it man, great way to keep busy. Warning though, it is frustrating in the beginning, but totally worth it.

    I've put this on almost all my posts so I think I might as well put it here too. I reflect on what the Desiderata says. It has an amazing message an plan on how you should live life and treat others.

    "Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
    and remember what peace there may be in silence.

    As far as possible, without surrender,
    be on good terms with all persons.
    Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
    and listen to others,
    even to the dull and the ignorant;
    they too have their story.
    Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
    they are vexatious to the spirit.

    If you compare yourself with others,
    you may become vain or bitter,
    for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
    Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
    Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
    it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

    Exercise caution in your business affairs,
    for the world is full of trickery.
    But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
    many persons strive for high ideals,
    and everywhere life is full of heroism.
    Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
    Neither be cynical about love,
    for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
    it is as perennial as the grass.

    Take kindly the counsel of the years,
    gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
    Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
    But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
    Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

    Beyond a wholesome discipline,
    be gentle with yourself.
    You are a child of the universe
    no less than the trees and the stars;
    you have a right to be here.
    And whether or not it is clear to you,
    no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

    Therefore be at peace with God,
    whatever you conceive Him to be.
    And whatever your labors and aspirations,
    in the noisy confusion of life,
    keep peace in your soul.

    With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
    it is still a beautiful world.
    Be cheerful. Strive to be happy."

    Make sure you take the lessons you learned from that relationship and go forth into the world with a newer (positive) outlook on life. Apply those lessons and walk with confidence and peace.
    Move on knowing that you WILL feel better, that you WILL find an even better partner, that you ARE blessed. Don't let life get you down- it's I gift given to us daily. It is here to be cherished, embraced, loved and lived to its utmost potential! Remember- "With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy." tomorrow will be a better day! :)

    It can honestly mean nothing. They can be feeling lonely or miss you, not necessarily looking to get back together.

    I would prefer it if you didn't proceed at all (unless you are over him/her).

    Proceed with caution,

    but seriously, music is an amazing outlet. I would say take up the guitar. It's a common instrument, relatively easy, relatively inexpensive, and there's a huge repertoire of music to choose from.
    Lol dude when I first read your name, I thought a hornist is someoen that is horny lol >_< that was embarrassing XD

    What if I can't cry? I've literally sat down and played country, YES country, you know, jump off a 10 story building music! I think I cried the day before we broke up, but not since then. I have a hard time doing it un-intoxicated! HAHA! I am really having a tough time with this one, but crying isn't coming when I need it to :(

    Number 28 is the best advice. After breaking up with my boyfriend of years I wrote him a 13 page letter I never mailed it but just writing it was the best closer.

    Take time to heal but don't waste time missing out on the chance to make new friends. I've been feeling really sorry and sad for myself these past few weeks and a bit worthless, so today when I signed on to a dating site and said I was looking for friendship, I was amazed that someone with a great looking face and decent profile who is 10 years younger than me wrote:

    You are 1 very attractive lady, and for a woman of 49 even more so. Would love to see that smile in person.

    Boy, did he make my day :)))
