If you came here to read this post thinking it was a resume, synopsis or a review of this perfect Julia Robert movie, you did came to the wrong place. The Fake Nerd hereby shows that everything in life is about cycle. It’s all about the cycle of life. We grow, we eat, we pray and we love – not in this same order, of course, but what matters is the act of doing those things.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; According to me many researches done in the south of Sweden, people have the tending of being depressed after relationship endings, but they get over the past and get ready to have a broken heart in a very short time. Based on these broken-hearted people who cry their ass off just by seeing a lonely leaf floating on the wind, we made a playlist for you to hear in these stages of life.
Love
It’s very important to listen to a good song. It does not matter if it’s before, if it’s during or after seeing your love. In this stage, everything is fine, everything is great and nothing else matters but being side-by-side with your baby love.
1. What’s My Name? (Rihanna feat Drake): Rihanna is super eclectic. She is that kind of singer that can sing any style of music – except, of course, Mariah Carey’s song – and What’s My Name was thought for the couple that can’t stand being apart. It’s too much obsession, honey.
2. Stickwitu (The Pussycat Dolls): You can listen to this song when you’re thinking about love, about how much you can’t stand away from each other. It’s such a great song for the passionate ones.
3. No Air (Chris Brown feat Jordin Sparks): That’s excellent for those amazing romances. It’s damn much hard to breathe if the person is not there. Just by thinking about her (him) being distant, everything gets bad, turns to gray, everyt… OMG, I WANNA KILL MYSELF RIGHT NOW!
4. Lucky (Jason Mraz feat Colbie Caillat): It’s the perfect song for those ones who want to enjoy all the moments beside your baby love. Lucky is that kind of song that pleases every couple and it’s such a beautiful declaration.
5. Endless Love (Diana Ross feat Lionel Richie): Ok, everything is beautiful, everything is great, but you know when THAT’s the thing? So Endless Love is the hit of that moment. It’s almost an anthem of marriages and – come on! – classics never lose their value.
Eat
This is the worst stage ever! You know that you are living it when that big love whose you didn’t breathe if it was distant, that endless love, that love that makes even you forget your own name, hurts you and you seem like… a loser. Listening to a good sad song is the best remedy to cure this “I’m down” thing.
1. We Belong Together (Mariah Carey): WBT touches you deep inside, deep within, and brings back all the good memories. A great tip is to sing it crying and screaming. It’s such a relief.
2. Linger (The Cranberries): The voice, the guitar, the lyrics. Linger is formed by elements that make the “I’m down” thing longer, more painful. Anyway, if you are in a bad moment with your “ex” love, this is the song, without a doubt.
3. How Could An Angel Break My Heart (Tony Braxton): No matter how old you are, you’ve certainly heard this song. It’s the flagship for all – I said ALL – the love songs programs that use to be on air at dawn. Sometimes, when this song ends, even the announcers need a while to recover.
4. All By Myself (Celine Dion): A classic! The one who has never seen Emma Pillsbury (from Glee) crying and screaming in the rain doesn’t know and doesn’t even understand the despair represented by this song. All by Myself is the anthem of loneliness, is THE song of depression.
5. Someone Like You (Adele): It seems like our dear singer-songwriter has been lived her 21 years suffering of love. SLY makes anyone think and rethink about all the things that the person has been through besides the other one. Nowadays, it involves the sleepless nights&nbsp;in the&nbsp;lonely&nbsp;world.
Pray
Too many metaphors in this stage of life. Many people get the praying thing straight, but the majority just wants to get over this, no matter how it happens. In this stage of life, we have forgotten all the bad things that occurred and we are focused on this spiritual recuperation. And it’s after this period that people start going to the health club and getting body-shaped, so they’ll be able to say “on your face, bitch!” to the new “hooker” of their last relationship.
1. Hero (Mariah Carey): Another classic. Hero comes along with the strength to carry people since the 90’s. Mariah – who’s not all about grease – is also know by her self-esteem determination on winning and overcoming songs. If you really want to get over of all that you’ve been through, this song has to be on your playlist.
2. Get It Right (Glee Cast): Lea Michele performs this song and does touch all the broken-hearted people. GIR has some very nice lyrics, but pay attention to the “so I throw up my fist, throw a punch in the air and&nbsp;accept the truth that sometimes life isn't fair”. It’s great!
3. I Look To You (Whitney Houston): Of course Whitney was supposed to be in you post-depression playlist. OLTY has made success in Viver a Vida¹ and has gotten to bring hope back to many people.
4. Security (Joss Stone): Friends. On this song, Joss Stone says exactly what friends can do to help. And more, she also caresses our ear with her beautiful voice. Friends are essential for the recuperation process: call out your friends and go to a party – what takes us to the last song.
5. Club Can’t Even Handle Me Right Now (Florida feat David Guetta): On this stage, you are supposed to be semi-cured, ready to glow and set fire to the dance floor. The mixing of Guetta and the Florida’s hip-hop inspire many minds. Who knows if one of these minds is not yours? 
Well, friends, those were the tips of a nerd. It’s up to you follow them or not. But they worked well with me, yeah they did. Have a great time!
