Memories through songs

Hey girls,


Good question for you: What do you do when your ex and you shared the same taste in music (including the exact same favourite songs in the world), and EVERY song on your iPod from the past year and a half reminds you of him? I don't want to stop listening to this music because it's all my favourites but I've limited my listening to only a few songs since we broke up for fear of pain listening to anything else. The worst thing is, two of my three very favourite songs of all time, we share, and one of them - "I Want to Know What Love Is" by Foreigner, we had talked about making the first dance at our wedding.


Music brings me the strongest memories. I still have songs that remind me of my other ex boyfriends but that means nothing to me now because they were so far in the past and weren't serious relationships. I just don't want to limit what I'm listening to, but I'm so scared of the pain I will feel when I listen to "our" songs again.

I've been having the same problem.
