I’ve lived, breathed and learned from this show.
I watch it when I’m sad, happy, alone or with company, it’s almost as if I’m married to this show. Almost (I know it’s illegal). But the point is, I’ve watched it so often, that when anyone around me breaks up, I can’t help but suggest one or another way a character from Friends coped with their break up.
It might not help you, but it taught me that we’re all in the same boat. We all hurt, we all touch rock bottom, but we rise. So, if you feel like you can’t do this, just remember we have to do what we can to cope…
1. Make drunken phone calls to them seeking closure
2. Don’t be afraid to take part in questionable valentine day rituals.
3. Eat ice cream right out of the tub, but make sure it’s low-cal.
4. Keep a bodyguard to make sure you don’t meet them.
5. Write a 4 page long letter that no one reads.
6. Get some seriously tough love from their new girlfriend.
7. Ask someone who you’ve been dating for just 2 months to marry you. Or maybe not.
8. Make so much jam that even Joey can finish it.
9. See the bigger picture…
10. Hook up with Janice
Everyone goes through it, but you’ve just gotta buckle up, accept everything stupid you do after a breakup and move on.Â
