Some songs that I have had on rotation during the last two months:

You Learn – Alanis Morrissette

If It Makes You Happy – Sheryl Crow

Don’t Speak – No Doubt

Torn – Natalie Imbruglia

Nothing Compares 2 U – Sinead O’Connor

It Must Have Been Love – Roxette

Losing My Religion – R.E.M.

Someone Like You – Adele

Bleeding Love – Leona Lewis

Need You Now – Lady Antebellum

Gotye – Somebody That I Used To Know

The One That Got Away – Katy Perry

You Oughta Know – Alanis Morrissette

Definitely a selection of breakup songs, with some being angry, some sad, and some bittersweet.  I think music is an important part of the healing ritual.  Soon I’ll start listening to the break-up songs where people come out even stronger, as that is what I hope happens.  These songs are almost finished me thinks.

I have no idea how long it will take for me to be able to 100 percent open my heart to someone else.  I’m terrified of hurting like this again.  I was never good at the dating scene, and I thought it was over.  Now, even though I’m definitely putting myself first, I’m back in that world.  I’m not sure what to think about the whole thing.

Oi vey.  Maybe I should build a little brick wall around my heart.  I think that would be good.  Not helpful in the long run, but good.
