The Breakup Kit

So in my last post I wrote about my break up earlier that week.

Well later that same week and very lovely mate of mine put together a 'Break-up survival kit'.

The kit was mentioned at a rehearsals and I saw it from a distance but to be honest, I was completely overwhelmed by the amount of hugs and advice I was getting from everyone that I completely forgot to  pick up this mystery box/ bag.

Upon arriving home I realised that I had forgotten it and promptly contacted my friend to find out when I could retrieve it and what was actually inside. He told me that he thought it was a stupid idea after all and didn't want to embarrass himself by giving it to me, because it had really random stuff in it. I insisted then that he at least tell me what I was missing out on and why he had chose such 'random' items to add to the bag.

Here is the contents of the kit and the reasons why these items were added...

A box of tissues to let you know that it's ok to cry

There was a compass to help you find your way when you feel lost

There was a lion to remind you to be brave

There was a torch to help you when it gets dark

And matches because let's face it matches are always useful

Binoculars to help you see far into the future

There were sweets because hey...they're sweets

A poncho just because they're awesome

and finally: A 'Hand of the King' pin/broach because you are important and Game of Thrones is cool!

Not long after the gift giving, this friend admitted that he has had feelings for me since we first met (at which point I had just started dating the guy which the last post was about) but that he knows I do not feel the same way. This has not changed our friendship in the slightest... he is surely my best male friend and I would not exchange him for any other. It's also nice when you get a stream of compliments from a male friend... Don't you think?!  (Gosh I have the biggest head this year!!! )

Also also also, this survival kit is a lifelong one so when things run out they get replaced... woo hoo, lollies forever!!! :)

Love and Hugs xx

P.s. life after a break-up isn't so bad... it gets better... things get easier
