I certainly hope that none of my readers are going through the same ordeal as I am, because it sucks and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. But I have been fumbling my way through life for eight days since the breakup now and have tried a number of things to help myself feel better. Many of them have worked, many have not, and I wanted to share my coping strategies. These might be helpful for getting through any major crisis, in fact – not just a breakup.

The Myth About Batman

For all that I do, and all that I try to do, and for as many places as I try to be to help others, I can only do the work of one man. That means that I need a whole cast of characters to help, a whole bunch of fellow crusaders who have similar interests, or supporting goals, or who are just generally great people.

By coming up with what I saw to be the major areas of life that twentysomethings deal with, and then asking for the community to contribute I’ve learned so much.
