The world's on fire but at least you've got each other. Nothing galvanises a partnership like being stuck together for the best part of a year! Recommended activity: make the extravagant ice cream sundaes of your childhood dreams and eat them under blankets whilst watching rom coms together.
when I'm with you it's like everything glows - Gabrielle Aplin, Waking Up Slow
if it's not too much to ask, will you always stay close? - Cristina Hart, Will You

Feel. Those. Feels. We've all been there and you will heal with time. Recommended activity: write a list of everything you learned about yourself during the relationship. You are worthy of good love.

Who needs an other half when you're already whole? No one knows you like you do, anyway. Recommended activity: pour the rosé, wing your liner, and spend the evening making big plans without having to consider anyone else. Dreamy.

pass your phone to the right, text an ex love goodbye - Maisie Peters, Sad Girl Summer

if you're crushing hard:

Nausea never felt so good. You like someone (like, like them like them) and you feel fourteen again. It's the worst... and the best. Recommended activity: tell them how you feel! There's nothing more brave and beautiful than putting yourself out there and being vulnerable. Feeling shy? Maybe send them this playlist 👀
tell me it's okay to feel the way I feel about you - Aislin Evans, Feel About You
she tastes like apple juice and peach - dodie, She
