Closure or Closer

So the last few weeks have been hectic, with work and life and most of all with the eternal crush to get over.

Since I’ve now made room in my mind to think as in opposed to blundering through on the idea that if I don’t think just act, things will work out fine (obviously evidence points to the negatoid) I’ve now decided to clear the space in my mind and focus on closure.

The word itself sounds like what it felt like when I closed the car door on my finger, painful, unnecessary and totally out of whack with the world, but focus on the important things, closure.

I’ve developed a totally untried and untested method to get over and move under and totally close the door on bad feelings that you have for someone and hopefully move on with your life a somewhat more mature, slightly less damaged human being. I say that, but the reality is that it would probably leave you feeling bitter for a few month, century, lifetimes, but at least you would learn how not to make the same mistake again. Of course I did hear that the only truth ever learnt is how to make the same mistakes again, nasty idea.

So the 7 point agenda (kinda like Yar’ adua, but this is way much more fun, or relevant maybe?)

1. Stay as far away from the person or thing you are trying to get closure from – I know its not rocket science, but seeing the person or thing, only allows you to continue obsessing and wanting and needing and dreaming (all of which are very dangerous) and you so need to get away from that mind frame. I did not do that when I needed to, hence my current understanding of KEEP AWAY, DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH!!!!

2. Accept – Accept the fact that though you wanted things to end in a certain way, chances are they are not going to. In fact given current evidence, the opposite is usually the case. Accept the following facts that you will feel bad, you will hate all couples and the emo part of yourself will reveal itself full fledge.

3. Feel bad – I know what sort of advice is feel bad, but there are few times in your life you allow yourself to feel bad and get into your emotional hell hole without feeling guilty, take advantage of it, get all the repressed pain out, you have to, to move on

4. Cry – I have trouble crying, I always feel that with so much problems in the world, how can I cry over my stupid broken heart so maybe I squeeze a few drops out, then feel guilty (that’s the problem with wanting to be strong, sometimes you get so strong, you strongarm yourself out of your emotions). So if you cannot just open your mouth and bawl, get some Robb, onions, or a very sad film and make yourself cry. Of course if they don’t work……. I don’t know, pinch yourself.

5. Hang out with friends – Now when a relationship, crush or general emotional disconnection occurs in your life, it’s alright to hang with friends. I know you want to lock all the doors and shut out the world, but take one day to go out with friends, relax if you can and eat bad foods, (ice creams, chocolates, eba and efo riro does not count, neither does amala and gbegiri).

6. Do not send sly text, phone calls etc- I give you this from my limited advice pool, when I say cut all contact with the person/ thing I mean all contact. You cannot send text, letters, make phone calls or in anyway shape or form communicate with the person. It is dangerous to your health and psyche.

7. Finally, if all else fails write something on facebook./ blog/ twitter – Yes, as you may all have guessed it, all the above failed for me, so I decided to write something on facebook, who knows, this might be the heartbreak cure nobody ever thought to prescribe.
