About heartbreaks

Dear Brother

Just finished the movie "(500) days of Summer" (By your time it'd be a classic, so I'd suggest you check it out, together with "Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind". Seriously chicks will dig you like crazy when you talk about these films). Anyhow the film reminds me to talk to you a thing or two about heart breaks.

Awww, your first heartbreak, huh? It sucks, I know. There are many typical way an average male would do it: Get drunk, get angry, smash stuffs, get emo, get a lot of random sex, and get over it.

Or you can do it the artsy way, like write a song about it (Taylor Swift's style. By this time she's only 5 years older than you. She'd be the next screwed up Britney), write a hit movie about it (500 days), or just like your brother, painted a painting of a dead naked body in a coffin. It helped.

Anyhow, that's not the main point. That's just the how-to, as always in these dumb letters. The main point is, people are people. Sometimes they do cruel things. Sometimes they do things they are not sure, and they break your heart in the process. Sometimes they came to you, being all sweet and understanding and perfect, and then they cut you off for weeks and ended up telling you "I don't think I can go through with this". Just to demonstrate I know how you feel right now.

When it happened to you, be angry all you want. Be sad and childish and smash everything you want. Kill her as many fictional times as you want. Beat yourself up and blame yourself for as long as you want. Just know, that it won't change anything.

Instead, have faith. Believe. There are someone out there for you, and she's coming as fast as she can. So just hang in there. I don't believe in faith, neither do I believe in destiny. I do believe in persistence, and being real. If it's not meant to be it's not meant to be. Someone will see you for who you are. Someone will love you because you are a weird, morbid, nerdy, sometimes awkward dude that you are. Someone will be there for you. Someone will wake up beside you, with her messed up hair and sleepy eyes, and yet it's a Picture Perfect.

Until that day, just SUCK IT UP.

With love,

P.S: If you are not into Arts, I'm willing to paint your ex naked, and dead, inside a coffin for you. Brothers should be able to share, right? LOL
