Help Your Friend…And Yourself
So your best friend has just been dumped by her one and only love, after his dishonesty and deceitful acts came out in the open, he decided what he wantedâ¦and unfortunately it wasnât her. Now your best friend duties come into place and you must be there for her, every step of the way. Getting over a bad break up can be a tedious process but can be driven along by a best friend.
Your duties as best friend in this scenario are;
⢠Be a shoulder to cry on
⢠Provide comfort and reassurance
⢠Encourage new changes
⢠Plan nights out and things to do
⢠Take your âbffâsâ mind off âhimâ
⢠Do notâ¦I repeatâ¦Do not let her get in contact with him
After going through these steps for a few weeks, itâs time to push it that one step further. Round up all the girlies and plan an amazing week away so that once and for all, your best mate knows she is not alone, is supported by her loved ones and can have fun on her own without needing ‘him’!
The difficult part is convincing her that this is what she needs, she wonât want to leave her comfort zone, sheâs feeling down and does not want to be made to feel better and generally can’t be bothered with the hassle of going awayâ¦it will be a tough task to change her mind, but you can do it!
After overcoming these hurdles, itâs time to get searching with your friends and find that ideal holiday. Youâll need something with a vibrant nightlife, a warm charm, great beaches and fantastic weather! Narrowing it down to maybe Greece and Cyprus, I think Paphos in Cyprus may just well do the trick. Paphos is beautiful, offers year round sunshine and has a wide variety of restaurants, bars and night clubs. The bar street in Paphos offers cocktail bars, karaoke bars and a fun loving, do what you want bar called âBubblesâ. The last thing she’ll want is to be completely overwhelmed by boisterous lager louts which you definitely wonât find here. If you do prefer something slightly busier, there are plenty of nightclubs open until 6am which host weekly events including the famous foam parties.
There are some classic, tasteful restaurants in Paphos whether it be along the harbour overlooking the promenade, or along the âtomb of the kingsâ road where youâll find more commercialised restaurants such as McDonalds, Pizza hut and an array of oriental restaurants. If you’re running a little short of money, book a self catering accommodation, then you can stock up at the local supermarket on arrival and cook your meals together before you head out for a night in the town.
After an amazing (and alcohol fuelled) night out, the morning hang over may prove too much for your friend to handle. Cheer her up with a trip to Coral Bay, here youâll find a beautiful sandy bay with sunbeds aplenty and watersports for all. The sun can feel overwhelming but will sweat that hang over out of you in no time! A glowing sun tan can make us all feel brighter and after 7 nights of this, your friend should feel rejuvenated and will go home with a big smile on her face.
Helping your friend in her hour of need is an admirable thing to do, one day you may need the favor returned and you may find yourselves on the hunt for more holiday deals. Depending on the situation, next time push the boundaries and try a week in Ayai Napa!
