   Go hunting for that special someone again, it's not the end of a relationship, it's the beginning of a new one.
   
   Don't think you're never going to find love again, because you will! Maybe there has always been someone who liked you secretly while you were not available. , Don't try to call him or text him anymore.
   
   And don't say you 'accidentally' pressed send to the wrong person.

   Remember boyfriends and girlfriends will come and go, but friends and family will never disappear. , Don't keep listening to those sad Taylor Swift songs, 'Tear Drops On My Guitar'
   
   and put some funky new music on you're iPod, and maybe get into a new band.
