"Everybody Hurts."
Watching the most recent episode of "New Girl" last night in which (SPOILER ALERT) Jess and Nick break up, both characters drown their sorrows in reruns of Dirty Dancing, belting out Hungry Eyes from across their apartment. I was immediately reminded of my own semi-successful heartbreak remedies throughout the last two decades including but not limited to a cassette tape of REM's Everybody Hurts on repeat (circa 1995), Family Ties reruns at 3am (circa 2001), plates full of overly-crisp bacon (circa 2003), and socializing until 3am (circa 2008). In these moments, anything that distracts delights, and good friends, trashy childhood favorites, and a glimpse of hope that this, too, might actually pass, is all a heartbroken youth needs. Enjoy!
