25 Single Lady Memes That Cover Each Stage from Post-Breakup Woes to Thriving in Your Solo Era

The road that leads between the initial onset of post-breakup woe to the joy of thriving as a single woman is long and treacherous. Right after a breakup, you feel wounded. Whether you or your ex was the one to deal the final blow to the relationship, it still hurts to find yourself feeling like you're alone in the world. Suddenly, your bed is much colder. Instead of being cuddled to sleep, your brain makes you replay all of the highs and the lows of your recent relationship. The person you used to immediately think of when you saw a funny reel on Instagram is now blocked on all platforms.

But there is hope: all things must pass. It may take a few weeks, a few months, or even some years, but eventually, you do make it out of the shadow of your ex. It is inevitable. It's not like you just wake up one day not caring about him; it is a gradual process. Little by little, you find that you actually enjoy sleeping diagonally on your bed. You now send all those funny Facebook videos to your friends who you now see several times a week. Sure, there are some backslides and some incredibly awkward Tinder dates thrown in there too, but you will recover. Scroll down for a collection of memes that truly capture the step-by-step journey from one end to the other.

Suddenly cutting bangs felt like a good idea.

After my last breakup, a literally got a mullet with microbangs. In my defense, I think I was sort of going for a different haircut, but the hair stylist made everything too short except for the rat tail on the back of my head. Anyway, dealing with all of my emotions after the end of a long-term relationship with a mullet was a special kind of torture.
