On holiday break from college. Relationship just died. What more is there to say?
I feel like I should take up a new hobby. Maybe I'll dust off that old guitar sitting in the corner.

Been thinking about doing the same but my voice is raspy and non-existent. Am I the only one who realizes how much of a nightmare cold weather is to musicians? Not only does it send your body into several forms of shock, the constant flux of inside to outside, but indoor heating isn't good on the head. There's all sorts of nasal and auditory nooks and crannies that get stuffed up when I'm in a heated place. Don't really have the science to explain, but I know the end result is: stare at the wall. Wait for summer or probation to end. Relocate to warmth.

(also, don't play the guitar because your relationship ended. Just play guitar. If you pick it up with notions of, "oh I've been wronged lord! Time to crank out some blues!" the girl has won)

Yeah absolutely. I can hardly get some words out sometimes when I am talking, forget about singing on key. Hard to keep strings in tune too.

I feel you, my brother. I've been down with the blues myself, lately.
I know it doesn't mean much, but I feel for you.
Good vibes and much love.

Expect a confusing mix of good to terrible relationship advice on here, man. If this relationship was a big deal to you, you'll probably have a lot of emotional energy for awhile that, in my opinion, should neither be suppressed, ignored, nor amplified. It can be easy to sink into this wallowing, depressing space - and just as easy to ignore or even condemn your feelings. There's no need to do either. You can be as you are.

I concur wholeheartedly. Musicianship is such a wonderful thing to have in your life; now is a probably great time to move some of your emotional energy into playing the guitar. 
Best wishes...

I've been single for over a year now and still find myself picking up new hobbies just to occupy my time.
I still need more hobbies, maybe I can fill that 1-2 hours void everyday where i watch netflix and think about how lonely i am.

I'm going through the same thing right now. I have cried a few times today, shit hurts. The fact that we aren't doomed, there is still hope, and accepting it is the answer to our pain. A hobby is great. Dust that thing off and channel those emotions into something else.

Eh, what makes people happy differs vastly from person to person.
For some, family is more important than anything else...and how do families start? that's right, by dating (usually).
I know some people who have done quite a bit for themselves, and are bonafide badass people, but still feel that it means nothing without someone to share it with.
I want a relationship and i don't care how stupid it makes me sound.

I'm single and sad, but am not sure if they are related at all. I wish I could find happiness within myself before I found happiness in someone else.
With the rate things are going I may be alone for a while...

I actually play guitar/sing. The cold has definitely had effect on my fingers before but never my voice. May just be the way I sing.

One of my biggest revalations in life taught me the opposite. I'd be interested in hearing something that is more important to a human than connections to other humans.
I'd say after the absolute essentials (air, water, nutes, stable environment) other people are at the top of my list.
"Relationships" are pretty lame though. I get that, but my loved ones, mostly family, definitely comprise the foundation of my happiness.

Sorry or your loss.
I recommend a vigorous workout.
There is almost no emotional funk that a really intense workout can't cure, at least temporarily.
When you work up a major sweat and your blood is pumping the endorphins start rushing into your brain and soon you feel great.
It works for almost any kind of stress or depression.
In my experience the best possible way to relieve stress or depression is to work out on a heavy punching bag.
Doing some hot yoga is also amazing.
All the best to you

Is it really about winning or losing though?
I like to sing or dance, or joke around n shoot the shit with friends. Keeping busy is key I like to be productive and improve skills and myself. There will always be another, or so I'm told.. but sometimes I wonder if I'll ever find true love again. But I'm not really looking for a relationship right now anyways cause there's some aspects I don't miss..
