You add someone on facebook. He initiates a conversation through chat. You go out on a date. You hit it off and fall in love instantly. Change your relationship status on social media. Then, you realize he doesn’t sweep you off your feet anymore. The relationship dies and you break up. You change your relationship status to single again and now what?
In today’s technology, it’s hard to get over someone. You see his pictures. You see his posts. You miss him but you don’t want to get back with him. The best way to heal your broken heart is to completely deactivate your social media accounts. But that would be hard because you can only be reached mostly on… Facebook. Deactivating means saying goodbye to your digital social life.

Sometimes, burning the real pictures using real fire is so much better.

BreakkUp and Wot Went Wrong

Never Liked It Anyway
If you find yourself hating what was once the best gift he ever gave you, there’s a site where you can sell it. Give those things a second chance by selling them to other people. Remember, what you consider junk (now) can be someone else’s treasure.

Breakups are hard and social media can make it tough for you. However, there are apps like these that are very willing to help. Some might cost you though. But hey, if Katy Perry spent thousands for a heartbreak coach, a few dollars won’t be too bad. You’ll eventually be singing and dancing. You’ll survive.
