“The best way to get over someone is to get under someone new.”

So the saying goes, I believe. However, the wording is irrelevant really. It’s more about the concept behind the statement that’s interesting to me. I support it one hundred percent, more or less. And no you dirty-minded people, I do not mean it in its literal form. But hey, if it works for you in the literal way too, then that’s all on you. Do what you’ve got to do to get by. Seriously though, this concept is a damn good one if you think about it. The only way to get over someone/thing is to take interest in a new someone/thing. Simple enough, right? Yes, simple enough.

However, we don’t really regard this simple piece of advice too often. Instead, we choose to linger over someone/thing long after it’s left your life or after you’ve chosen to leave it behind. We get into these moments of melancholy, angst, anger, whatever, and it’s all on our own accord. Funny, right? I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, we do the funniest things to ourselves sometimes. It’s like we enjoy living shitty lives or something. If only we’d realize sooner rather than later that the only way to get over something is to stop paying so much attention to it and start doing something else with your life, something more productive. Seriously, we’d all be so much happier. I don’t know about you, but I’d much rather be out and about, spending time with old friends and new, chilling, anything really than sitting at home thinking about some situation that I can’t change. All these people crying at home, being all depressed and whiney, need to start doing something with their lives.

You can’t change something that’s already been over and done with. Get over it and get under something new.
