For Sale: Beautiful Heart. Broken

By Klemente Cisneros





            Your memories smell like craigslist. They do not smell like love, compassion, or even bliss anymore. Now, they’re just the mocking physical stuff left after a bad breakup that won’t let you let go. Every single thing is like a highlight of the ending of every chapter to an infinite book of love stories. Some of those things make you smile, but most of them make you cry. But you don’t need more saddle in your back. You've got already enough emotional baggage in your heart to swift through all those unwanted memories in your closet: a stuffed bear holding a heart with an "I love you" embroidery; a box set of both her favorite TV show; a painting of him gathering dust in the closet; a gold heart charm in perfect condition, unlike his. Accepting a loved one is gone can be tough to the point we want to hold onto their memories forever. Until we realize it's over, we want to believe they still think of us every time we flick through the memories of us. But, when we wake up and realize they don't even care anymore, all we want is to get rid of them. That's why saying the last good bye to a significant love can end up in a bonfire of well-worn clichés.

           I know it can be tough to hold your need to light up your ex’s depressing junk. I have been there. In some stage of mourning you might think that getting rid of everything he or she gave you is the best option. Well, think again. Instead of burning your memories, you should sell them. Besides being unoriginal mementos, memories can be expensive keepsakes as well. Never Liked It Anyway is the perfect place to do it. If you want to star over, clean and sober, this website created by Bella can help you sweep out your post-breakup closet the Eco-friendly way. The webpage is some sort of like eBay for post-breakup memories. As simple as buy, sell, or tell, you can get things for more than half the original price, depending on how bad was the breakup. You can also sell your stuff and tell about it to the online community. It is totally anonymous, if you want, and you can get some profit for crying all night long for someone who doesn’t even deserve it. This website really caught my eye because besides getting revenue from your unwanted stuff, you can get more benefits from the site as well.

            How many of us have been through a bad breakup? Unless you’re a lucky forever alone, breakups can be really hard to handle in the secrecy of our hearts. Some of us need someone to tell what we are going through and sometimes we don’t have enough support from our families or our friends. Either, because people don’t understand you, or, simply, you can’t tell your folks, openly talking about it to other people who understand what you feel can really relieve your pain. We all need to say how we feel because it makes us a little less anxious or worried. If you tell your story to people that will listen and can give you feedback and support, your breakup might as well be a social climbing rather than a lock up from society. Another thing I found interesting is that there are stories on the site you could learn about. You can go crazy searching online why your date or boyfriend/girlfriend is acting a certain way, but until you hear it from someone who has experienced in life and flesh your research is useless. That way, if you hear a story like “I signed for the entire wedding costs, but he decided no to get married, leaving me broke and heart broken,” you might want to think twice about paying for the wedding yourself. Finally, in a symbolic way, getting physically rid of something can help you let go of all the emotional baggage and rage you've been carrying around for days, or months. When you toss out some material things you were given, let’s say a golden heart charm, you let go of a part of the relationship that is torturing you. Now, getting cash for purging that past of bad memories is a really nice added bonus.

           Whether you’re heart broken, or simply broke, and want to sell the things that bother you while you tell your story, you should check out this site. It’s a win-win transaction that helps the broke and your broken heart. So before you burn those tickets to the “I Love You Forever” concert, consider recycling them instead. There are plenty of buyers out there whose forever isn’t over yet, and would really like to listen to those love songs. After all, you never liked it anyways.
