5 Things You Can Do After a Breakup

I actually forgot how it feels. I'm a happily married woman now, but of course, I can still empathize and always care about people around me especially when my friends just got out of a relationship. 'Move on" after breaking up is not a simple thing. It will take time to heal a broken heart. When I found my close friend who just got out of a breakup, I advise them to do these things:


Stay away from social media
Social media is not the right place to vent frustration or throw away your feelings. That's why if someone got out of a relationship, just take a breath for a while and avoid social media. You might convey your pain feeling to public, do not get full of unrest statuses which can let others know that you are being hit by confusion of the broken heart.

Enjoy yourself with a cup of your favorite beverage
You can do this just with your own self anywhere you want, it could be at home, café, or other places. Sitting by yourself and drinking a cup of your favorite coffee or tea. Everyone who just got out of a breakup needs time to be alone. A precious moment for recalling the failure of love and taking lessons from it.

Listen to mellow songs
Just cry when you need to, accompanied by the chant mellow tones. There're so many Indonesian singer that you can choose for your breakup playlist. One of the most interesting songs for your breakup playlist is a song by Chilla Kiana, entitled "A copy of you". This song tells about a meeting of a woman with a man who looked like her ex-boyfriend. But eventually the woman realized that the man cannot replace the figure of her lover. It sounds a little bit sad, but it's not a problem because for the period of mourning, you certainly can be passed for the sake of a happier future.

After you listen to your favorite songs, your feeling will be better than before. Music can fit your mood.

Tell your close friend
If you're not able to keep it alone, share it with your trusted friends. Definitely, your friend will not mind listening to your story as long as you tell the story with one condition, you're not living in a deep disappointments, sadness, hurt, and promise your friend you're going to move on. Your friends will also be happy to see you’re risen from grief.

Come back and focus again on your hobby
Perhaps you are too busy with love affairs until forgotten the hobby that you like. After the breakup, let you take a moment to do something positive through your hobby. Even hobby can also make you get new friends if you actively join in a particular community. It will be very pleasant to you, won't it?

Although grieving after a breakup was reasonable, but I wish that you would get over it. A broken heart feeling can niggle at the back and hover at the front of your mind. You need to keep your positive perspective on life, stay strong, and don't give up because you're strong enough to let it go.

MY BERRY FARM: Fresh Premium Strawberry Bandung

Strawberry is a sub-tropical fruit. It turns out that strawberry is actually not a berry family, but the genus is from the rose family (Rosaceae). Strawberry was first cultivated in the United States around 1835 and has become a widely grown plant in home gardens and widespread in agriculture. All cultivated strawberries are developed from four main species. The first, the wood strawberry (Fragaria vesca), is a fragile woodland species native to the mountains of Mexico, South America, and the West Indies. Meadow strawberry (Fragaria virginiana) in eastern North America was introduced to Europe during the 17th century. The beach strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis) is native to the mountainous regions of the Western Hemisphere, and a fourth cultivated strawberry species developed classified as Fragaria moschata is common in Central Europe. Most of the strawberry varieties cultivated today were developed from the North American varieties, known as Wilson, Crescent, Sharpless, and Longworth.
