“Everybody Breaks Up Anyway” by Suki Waterhouse perfectly captures the reality of breaking up because it forecasts how not everyone stays together and how everybody breaks up anyway. Also, mention the deep realization and personal growth that breaking up does to you.
When it comes down to it, breaking up on Valentine’s Day is just plain foolish. The break-up roses and break-up chocolates aren’t a way to officially end a relationship. According to Bumble.com, 1 in 14 couples break up on Valentine’s Day, but personally, I’d like to avoid any arguments on that special day.
“Just for tonight, you’re still my baby, I know sometimes we fight, make you sad, make you crazy,” is another way that Suki mentions the disagreements and sadness of a breakup.
If you’re going to break up with someone, do it two months before, not around any special holidays. It defeats the purpose of celebrating love on Valentine’s Day if you’re going to crush it with some heartbreaking news.
If you’re only considering breaking up because you don’t want to buy gifts for your significant other, that is lazy, pointless, and, overall, the worst thing anyone could ever do. The moral of the story is don’t break up on any holiday- save yourself the tears and bad memories for another day.
Still considering breaking up on Valentine’s Day? Do you want to be remembered as the mindless person who ended a relationship on someone’s happiest day? It’s like objecting at a wedding. Who does that?
According to Quora.com, January and February are the top break-up seasons. January because of the New Year’s resolutions of personal growth and February because it’s the realization that you can’t see yourself with your partner in the future and the dedication of your love to them isn’t available anymore.
That’s quite the start to the year, isn’t it?
Although breaking up can destroy one’s heart, the environment of Valentine’s Day adds to the pain. Knowing that other people around you or even on social media are in love, getting married, and receiving gifts showing how much they’re loved while you’re getting dumped, is a different way to crush your heart.
That’s a night to remember.
But those aren’t the only reasons why people are breaking up nowadays, miscommunication, falling out of love, and giving up on relationships are other reasons. Sounds like a song I know.
“Let You Break My Heart Again” by Laufey just as easily talks about the emotional effect that breaking up has on someone and the repetition of letting someone use you because you love them, and someone who is deeply in love with the other person will let them hurt you constantly. As Taylor Swift once sang, “And you call me up again just to break me like a promise,” All Too Well (TMV)(TV)(FTV). Again, lyrics show the repetition and promise that someone has done to another person, without doing something about it.
So do the mature thing and break up with someone on almost any other day. Leave Valentine’s Day to the lovers.
