Whether you have a literal broken heart or you are just feeling sh*tty about the fact that you just got dumped, breakups suck and there is NO easy way to heal heartbreak. You COULD go out with the girls, but you're just not ready to talk to any guys yet. Because, honestly, they SUCK right now.

Or maybe your mom thinks it's a good idea to take you to a paint and wine night. But doodling hearts while your mom talks to the wine moms about your breakup doesn’t sound like a great way to distract your mind from the heartache either.
