告别一段恋情-举办一些奇怪的仪式(2)

告别一段恋情

 

Take it to social media.

 

在社交媒体上公布

 

You don't necessarily have to broadcast the details of your unfortunate love story but you can post something about how your relationship is done and that your plans only revolve¹ around enjoying your newfound life as a single lady. Since your friends and loved-ones will likely read your status, you'll be accountable and you'll be reminded of how you've ended things yourself, how there's no turning back, and how there's no getting back together, like ever.

 

你不用公布这段恋情的每一个细节，但你可以说说这段感情是如何结束的，以及围绕着你的单身新生活谈谈你的计划。在你的朋友和关心你的人看到你的状态后，你可以跟他们解释，并提醒自己你是如何亲手结束这一切的，没有任何回旋余地。

 

Give in to weird² rituals.

 

举办一些奇怪的仪式

 

It can be anything from finishing a half-marathon while listening to all of the songs you've used to listen together or going through all the belongings³ he left in your apartment, burning them, and throwing the ashes in the nearest beach where you live. Just have whatever weird, crazy, but symbolic⁴ ceremony that you think you needed so you can finally say goodbye to him and the painful memories you had in the past.

 

你可以听着自己以前经常听的歌曲去跑一个半程马拉松，或者将他留在你公寓的物品一一找出，然后烧掉，并把它们的“骨灰”洒在你家最近的沙滩上。尽情地办一些怪异疯狂的但是具有象征性的仪式吧，因为你需要通过它们来忘记这个人，以及过去那痛苦的回忆。
