They say revenge is a dish best served cold. Well, we politely disagree.
In the event of a devastating break-up, feeling out of wits is only natural. It is okay to give in to the temptation of spending an embarrassing amount of hours every day, curled up on the couch with a tub of ice-cream. But the line between mourning the death of a significant relationship and wandering into the territory of overwhelming self-doubt and self-pity is dangerously thin.
The alternative? Deal with your break-up the iconic Lady Diana way! Ladies, if a man is not equipped to fully appreciate you for the absolute star that you are, repeat the following words in front of the mirror till they get set in stone inside your brain: HIS. LOSS. Next step? Show him exactly what he is missing out on, and will never get back!
