The Vegan Breakup Survival Guide

So … you’ve just been dumped.

The important thing to remember is DON’T PANIC. You may be overwhelmed with feelings of self-doubt; perhaps you’re diving into your fifth pint of Turtle Mountain’s Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough while leaving hysterical messages on their voicemail that sound more like a wild mongoose than a civilized young lady or gentleman like yourself. However, do not forget—this is all NORMAL. Stop refreshing the ex’s Facebook page and lace up those knee-high boots for that house party up the street. Get back out there—nothing speeds up the healing process like that hot blonde from chemistry class!

Start seeing movies, go catch a game, get coffee with friends … as well as focus on losing those extra ten pounds of Chinese take-out. After all, the best revenge is living well—and that certainly doesn’t include deep-fried tofu.

However, eating healthy does not extend to your VEGAN BREAKUP FIRST AID KIT (for use in case of emergencies):

*note: If you happen to be the sympathetic friend, arriving with your Vegan Breakup First Aid Kit in hand is def good karma.

I’ll leave you with this: when you’re ready to move on, an immediate attraction may make the world around you seem like an afterthought, but your old friends—not your new flame—are the people who really matter. Putting in time and love, they are there for you at your most distraught and most annoying. So, yes, share your excitement about the new romantic adventure you’re setting out on, but understand that even those who care the most about you may knife you in the night should you mention that cute mannerism they do one more time. Don’t take it personally— it is merely a stab of love. ;)

    Too long to explain here, it's long enough for a novel.

    Father loves to farm, be self sustainable, loves to read, he's a antiques/vintage auctioneer, art student, and looks like mr. Rogers. My mother is a Montessori teacher and is amazing with children, all about local organic foods, loves gardening, cooking etc. my sister who is nine years older than me was into indie music and introduced me to all sorts of things at a young age. This all rubbed of on me and from that base I grew into similar things. I'm an INFJ

    Well let's just say life ain't always beautiful but it's a beautiful ride. I love all my pets and would do anything for them. I have one dog, two cats, a ferret and my babygirl shaymin,(the cutest hedgehog alive) I'm into all different kinds of music. I'm a singer myself and love art.

    I want to get into marketing but not have to rely on people which have different morals and worldviews than I do to hire me. While I'm figuring this out, I want to show everyone what I believe in and spur them into action against injustices.
