Breakups are rarely easy and can be messy, confusing, and sometimes, soul-crushing. We’ve all been there and unfortunately, the only way out is to go through all the feelings and emotions as they hit you. One thing that can help? A breakup playlist.
Music is one of the best forms of therapy as it can express how you feel. It can help you wallow in your sadness, connect with your anger and remind you that one day, you won’t be hurt by the end of that relationship anymore. Some songs are ideal for those broken-hearted blues and new research reveals which ones people turn to most.
