Dealing with heartbreak? Here’s 10 Acoustic Covers To Get Over A Breakup.
Getting over your ex is hard. There isn’t a helpful way to put it beyond clichés, including… “There are more fish in the sea.” “Time heals all things.” “They aren’t worth your tears.” “Everything happens for a reason.” “It wasn’t meant to be.” “When one door closes another one opens.”
These generalities are technically true, but they don’t necessarily make the heart hurt any less. Companionship, love, and romance are not hard to forget about once they’re gone. This is because the emotion of love technically changes brain chemistry.
