How can you turn heartbreak into a positive?
Cupid’s Advice:
Heartbreak is one of the most painful things you can experience, but it’s also something you can make into a positive in your life. Cupid has some tips:
1. Vent: Find a friend that you can be one hundred percent yourself around. Sit down with them and just talk about how you feel. This will help you find pros and cons and be able to get everything out, and as an added bonus, it will bring you closer to your friend.

2. Distract yourself: Now that you aren’t tied to attending events just because your partners wants you to go, you’ll find some extra time on your hands. Find a new hobby or interest. Outside of distracting you from heartbreak, it may open up new friendships and relationships for you.
