F-ck Crying and Throw an Iconic Breakup Party
In case cuffing szn isn’t going according to plan.
Dating and breakups are known to be the bane of our existence, but what if we told you your breakup can be one of the most love-filled and healing experiences you ever have?
Amy Chan, the author of Breakup Bootcamp, shares that philosophy and believes that “The ending of a chapter marks the beginning of a new one.” Maintatining the same routine after a breakup is a sure fire method to ensure you never get over that toxic beau.

Before we dive into Chan’s expert advice on overcoming your breakup, we have some advice of our own. Put on your most iconic, sultry and cozy outfit that makes you feel like you. Okay, now time for the expert dating advice.
“Get a group of your friends together for a dinner,” says Chan. Have “each person can take a turn telling you what they appreciate about you the most and share what they wish for you in your next chapter.” Because this is a time where you feel rejected and confused, what you need most is “to be reminded that there are close friends who love you.”
Of course, we’re post-pandemic and still readjusting so if an IRL meet up won’t work, “get your friends to record a short clip of what they love about you the most. You can use a website like Tribute.co that will compile all the videos into a montage. In the moments when you’re feeling lonely, rewatch the video so you can be reminded of how awesome and supported you are.”
Instead of focus on loss, cry about the love you were able to experience, the love you currently have in your corner and of course, the pieces of you that deserve healing.
