Rekomendasi Lagu untuk Menemani Fase Patah Hati

After a trainwreck of emotion, after an awful heartbreak, or after a bad day kicks in, it's ok to let the emotions out and feel sad. There's no exact timeline on how long we should overcome the sadness. Just go through it and let it all out, and eventually, you'll get better. 

When I got to this point, when I got tired of crying and I got my brain cells altogether, I need something to lift my spirit up. Friends and family are great, but I need something that I can carry whenever I want to, so I listen to some songs. Here are some songs that lifted my spirit up after heartbreaking events came in:

1. Dua Lipa - New Rules

"He makes me feel like nobody else, but my love, he doesn't love me so I tell my self...."

Lagu ini memberikan saran agar kita tidak terjebak dengan rayuan gombal mantan buat balikan. Liriknya juga menyatakan tentang "practice makes perfect" jadi kita perlu melatih diri kita sendiri untuk letting go. 

Ada lagi lagu dari Taylor Swift judulnya "We are never ever getting back together", cocok buat kalian yang udah putus-nyambung. Setelah kita menerima keadaan, letting go of what once we had, kita akan bangkit lagi seperti sebelum patah hati. Nah, lagu-lagu yang sangat membantu saya secara personal antara lain:

2. P!nk - So What

"So, so what?
I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what?
I'm having more fun
And now that we're done
I'm gonna show you tonight
I'm alright
I'm just fine
And you're a tool
So, so what?
I am a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't want you tonight"

Lagu ini cocok banget pas kamu lagi dalam fase kebangkitan. Jika belum, jangan dipaksakan, karena malah makin sedih nanti jadinya. Ketika sudah dalam fase kebangkitan, kita akan mampu melihat bahwa we're alright and we don't need them. 

3. Taylor Swift - Shake it off

"But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music in my mind
Saying it's gonna be alright"

Pasti semua sudah tahu lagu ini. Lagu ini menunjukkan kepercayaan kalau kejadian-kejadian nyebelin akan selalu terjadi lagi dan lagi tapi kita sudah tahu itu dan akhirnya ya "shake it off", alias bodo amat deh yang penting kamu tetep jalan terus, berproses.
