Your Breakup To-Do List Part I.
Breakups suck. It doesn’t matter if it lasted two weeks or two years – any form of rejection is enough to make us realize we don’t want to feel it again. Not to mention, getting over the sting is really tough, especially by yourself. That’s why Blush has put together your official breakup to-do list to get you out of this rut. An ex should NEVER take away your light – so let’s get you back to feeling like yourself again.
Here is your *official* breakup to-do list!
1. Stop communication.
We mean it! No texting, no calling, no coffee dates, and definitely no friendship chats. We know it’s really easy to make excuses to see them…“I want closure,” “I need my insignificant item back” or even the casual “Oh…we’re just catching up!”
I’ve been there, believe me. We all have. All this is doing is keeping you in limbo. You can’t move forward because you’re still talking to them, but you can’t go back because the relationship ended. You’re stuck.
We definitely get that it’s natural to want to reach out, and we know a few texts seem harmless. They bring comfort, memories, and hope. But that is short lived!
You-are-not-being-nice-to-yourself-by-talking-to-them. You inevitably relive the break up all over again once the texting ends, and you erase all of your hard earned progress! No more.

2. No stalking them on social media.
No creepin’ on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Snapchat…and whatever else is out there. I’m old.
Perception is reality, and if you see them via social media, you may as well be seeing them in the flesh (and we already vetoed that–nice try). If you have amazing self-control and can stop yourself from stalking, you deserve 1,000 sprinkled cookies! However, if you don’t, it’s cool. Just mute them so you’re not reminded of them.
Lastly, you could even block them. I know, I know, extreme. I like the “hide” feature on my Facebook (that’s definitely come in handy). Whatever you do, block or no block, don’t worry about anyone else’s reaction (get a hobby people) and just take care of yourself. You don’t need to see them moving on, because you’re too busy moving on yourself. So…guh bye.
3. Think of all the reasons why your life is better now.
And there are reasons, many of
