Problem: Article: Love can be perfectly real without being forever. You can love someone else deeply for a time but have that love come to an end. Just because it ended doesn't mean it was a waste of time. Your love touched you at your core and shaped who you are as a person. In the words of the old cliché, it is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all. A large part of this acceptance is forgiveness. Forgive yourself for not being able to hold it together. Forgive your partner for wanting to leave (if you are going to remain friends with them later on this one is absolutely vital). Forgive your partner or yourself for the problems that led to the split. You are both only human. Once you've taken some time to recover from your heartbreak, hit the ground running. Use your new independence as an opportunity to focus on improving your life. Now is your chance to earn successes that will make you feel good about yourself and leave you in a better position than you were before. Just a few examples are below:  Devote yourself to your work. Accept ambitious new assignments. Take more responsibility. Ask for a raise or a promotion. Take up a new hobby. Learn how to play an instrument. Study a new language. Start writing stories or keep a journal. Explore the world. Travel. Meet new people. Trek out into the wilderness (with proper safety precautions). After a difficult breakup, it's usually best to swear off romance for a few months to avoid the emotional problems that can often come with "rebound" flings. However, once you've taken some time off, it's okay to look at, talk to, and like someone new. Doing this may feel a little painful or awkward at first. This is normal. You're essentially going through a kind of withdrawal from the person that you constantly talked to and saw before. This will fade with time. When someone new comes along, let this person in. Don't be so afraid of future heartbreak that you can't enjoy your life now. Even if it's a small crush, it's okay to feel something for someone new. No matter how badly you or your partner screwed up in the past, you can't change it. What's done is done. Coming to terms with this can be difficult — some people are deathly afraid of letting go. However, you can't truly move on with your life until you start thinking more about today than about when you were with the person you used to love.  This will take time, so be patient. You may not be able to keep yourself from thinking about your old love for a while. However, as long as you focus on yourself and don't allow yourself to give in to depression and pessimism, you will eventually start to let go. It will take longer to move on depending on how long your relationship lasted. Be patient with yourself and don’t force yourself to move on too fast. At one point, it may have seemed like you would never be happy again. As time passes, this idea will start to seem less and less reasonable. The fact is that you can always look forward to a brighter future. There are always new people to meet, new experiences to seek out, and bright new days to look forward to. Your happiness isn't determined by what happened in the past — it's determined by what you have in store for the future. Time heals all wounds. Right after your breakup, it may seem like you can't go a minute without thinking about how badly you miss your ex. Slowly, however, over the weeks and months, these thoughts will become less common. Eventually, you will go an entire day without thinking unhappy thoughts about your ex. You'll basically "forget" to be sad. When this happens, take it as a major accomplishment. You did it! The rest of your life awaits. This isn't to say that you need to stop thinking about this person altogether. You can hold memories of this person dear in your heart. However, they shouldn't be something that interferes with your life. They should be a source of gentle tenderness and nostalgia — like thoughts of a beloved relative who has long since passed away.
Summary: Accept that you loved this person but that this is in the past. Get active and organized. Open yourself up to new relationships. Live in the present. Look forward to the future. Let your memories of this person gradually fade.

Problem: Article: Essentially, you only need to preheat your oven to the lowest possible temperature. The temperature needs to be very low. High temperatures will dry the mint quickly, but they will also produce a flavorless, aromaless result. Do not use a temperature above 200 degrees Fahrenheit (93 degrees Celsius). After the oven has preheated and sat at that temperature for about five minutes, turn it off. Again, this is done so that the mint can dry quickly in mildly warm conditions without drying out in excessive heat and losing their flavorful, aromatic oils. Arrange the mint leaves so that they are in a single layer on the baking sheet, and avoid letting the leaves overlap or touch.  If the leaves are piled together or touching, some of the leaves may not dry out evenly with the rest. As a result, during the drying process, you might find that some leaves have burned while others are still moist. To the same point, you should also try to dry leaves of similar sizes on a single baking sheet at a time. If you dry mint leaves of varying sizes, some my dry out faster than others. You do not need to place anything on the baking sheet before adding the mint, but if desired, you could use a sheet of parchment paper. Do not use cooking spray. Place the mint in the warm oven and let them dry in there for 5 to 20 minutes. Check every 5 minutes to see if the leaves have become adequately dry. The leaves are dry when they begin to curl up and become crispy. They should still be green, though. Checking on the mint often can help prevent them from turning brown.
Summary: Preheat the oven to 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius). Turn the oven off. Spread the mint leaves out onto a baking sheet. Dry the leaves in the warm oven.

Problem: Article: Keeping your situation under wraps minimizes the embarrassment and helps avoid becoming a target for police officers and criminals alike.  Rotate among several parking locations to avoid getting noticed. When you move around in the parked car, move slowly to avoid rocking the car. When it's sunny in the daytime, use a sunshade for the windshield. You may find that you need and want more privacy than windows offer. There are a few cheap ways to gain this privacy. Reflective window shades in your back and front window help. Similarly fold up shades on the side windows are good. You can also buy some cheap cloth and either stuff them in the windows, tape them in, or hold them in place by magnets. Black cloth is best for privacy and blocking out light. If you can afford it, and local laws allow, and you don't mind driving with it, get your windows tinted as dark as legally possible. This along with the front sunshade and dark cloth or towels can provide a lot of privacy. If you hang a towel or cloth on an untinted window, it screams homeless person. You hang the same on a tinted window it'll be impossible to see inside and won't draw attention. Keep the windows cracked open while you sleep, not wide enough for someone to reach in, but enough to allow fresh air and reduce condensation on the windows.
Summary:
Be discreet.
