Get Over It

I am going to start with a disclaimer. I have never broken up with anyone and  never had an ex-someone. Nevertheless, I almost got there and know people who have. I'm also sure that a lot of us can still relate to how it's like to try to get over someone or something we wanted so badly but couldn't have. Unfortunately, the wail-like-a-fool, drown-yourself-in-alcohol-and-sorrow and constant-replay-of-what-did-i-do-wrong are only valid for a short time and will not help us move forward. After all that, the decision to move on or suffer must be made.

And the right decision will always be, to move on. Whether that means forgiving someone then rebuilding your relationship or totally letting go.

But we all know that all I just said are blah because the secret to moving on is listening to Happy Move On music! Of course! That's what I wrote this entry for! Mehehehe.

1. Gonna Get Over You by Sara Bareilles
You can play this over and over again and you get happier by the minute. It's not a bitter song at all.

Fave Line/s: I'm not the girl that I intend to be. But I dare you darlin' just you wait and see but this time not for you just for me.

2. Tonight I'm Getting Over You by Carly Rae Jepsen
Just because I know someone who's been listening to this song during this phase of her life. I love that it's really upbeat.

Fave line/s: We're not lovers but more than friends.

3. Little Black Dress by Sara Bareilles
This is such a beautiful song. It's painful but hopeful.

Fave Line/s: I stand a pretty good chance to dust myself off and dance. I'll get my little black dress on and if i put on my favorite song, I'm gonna dance until you're all gone.

4. I Look So Good Without You by Jessie James
This is definitely for any guy or girl that has been wronged. Especially those with self-esteem issues. It's time to love yourself!

Fave Line/s: I look so good without you. I never thought that I'd be dreaming so much better without you in my head.

5. It's A Beautiful Day by Michael Buble
Now guys, just because a girl only wants you to be her friend and you want more doesn't mean that you can be a jerk to her from now on. Still for the guys who felt really bad, there are still other great people out there.

Fave Line/s: Cause maybe you may not believe that baby I'm relieved.

6. Stronger by Britney
Who doesn't love Britney? I grew up listening to her. And yes, one must not dwell on one's loneliness. Just remember the diva that you are!

Fave Line/s: Stronger than yesterday. now it's nothing but my way. My loneliness ain't killing me no more.

7. Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You) by Kelly Clarkson
This is great because it reminds us that whatever we are going through doesn't have to make us bitter forever but stronger and more independent.

Fave Line/s: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stand a little higher. Doesn't mean I'm lonely when i'm alone.

8. Roar by Katy Perry
I love a lot of her songs especially Teenage Dream. Makes you feel unburdened by whatever issues you may have. She has a lot of self-love songs.

Fave Line/s: I got the eye of the tiger, the fire, dancing through the fire. Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar. Louder, louder than a lion.

9. You're Just Another Picture To Burn by Taylor Swift
Yes I am aware she has a song called We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together but this one I picked because of the teenage vibe. And a young girl's very first realization that yes, a jerk's picture is worth burning then forgetting about.

Fave Line/s: So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time. As far as I'm concerned you're just another picture to burn.

10. I Know We're Cool by Gwen Stefani
Here's for those who actually believe that they can forgive and let bygones be bygones. Wow, that's possible? This reminds me of married couples who divorced amicably and have managed to become good friends.

Fave Line/s: It's good to see you now with someone else. And it's such a miracle that you and me are still good friends.

11. Something About Us by Daft Punk
I just had to add this one. It isn't that happy in a sense but it's a saying goodbye song with a great beat and I love it love it love it so this makes the cut.

Fave Line/s: I might not be the right one. It might not be the right time. But there's something about us I've got to do. Some kind of secret I will share with you

12. Don't Call Me Baby by Kreesha Turner

This song is is really all about that one important word: No. No more drama after this. Goodbye! Besides, who needs men when you've got your girlfriends? Or I guess for guys, who needs women when you have your best buds...or your beer, or dog or sports. You know what I'm saying.

Fave Lines: Nobody hurts like you.

I hope you liked this list. I'm sure there are a lot more happy get over songs out there. Stay happy ;p
