Photo by Mingo Hagen\/Flickr<\/a><\/p>\n Let\u2019s face it: we all have our emo days. Whether it\u2019s because of a bad breakup, work drama, or too much time spent in traffic, sometimes we just need a place to go and be grumpy. Even in a city as sunny as Miami, we all have days when it feels like clouds are hovering over us, specifically. Fortunately, this city is full of places where we can be a little extra without fear of harm or judgment. So, put down the tissues, pull out the black eyeliner, and drag yourself to these emo havens.<\/p>\n Aventura Mall<\/p>\n Even if you\u2019re a mall<\/a> hater, there is no denying that there\u2019s something soothing about roaming these expansive, fluorescent-lit halls. It\u2019s an experience made even better while blasting depressing music on your headphones, and you\u2019ll relive your mallrat heydays of judging all the happy normies with their boba teas and shopping bags. Unfortunately, there\u2019s no Hot Topic here, but you\u2019ll still find plenty of opportunities for self-pity. 19501 Biscayne Blvd., Aventura; 305-935-1110; aventuramall.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis year, make your gift count \u2013 \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOur work is funded by readers like you who make voluntary gifts because they value our work and want to see it continue. Make a contribution today to help us reach our $30,000 goal!\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Books & Books<\/p>\n What better place to be tragic than among the words of Sylvia Plath, Franz Kafka, and Leo Tolstoy? Sip coffee in the corner of the caf\u00e9 and indulge your sweet sorrow in the pages of a classic tragedy, a contemporary heartache, or, for a dose of nonfiction, the newspaper. No one will bother you as you sob into your napkin, and they have plenty of delicious cakes and pastries if you\u2019d prefer to eat your feelings. 265 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables; 305-442-4408; booksandbooks.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Brother\u2019s Keeper Bar<\/p>\n Sometimes we need to drown our sorrows the old-fashioned way \u2014 at the bottom of a drink. Is it healthy? No, but neither is being sad all by yourself. That\u2019s why we need classic dive bars like this one, where we can camouflage under the neon lighting and melt into our plush booth. This spot serves up pure \u201980s nostalgia, reminding us of a time when it was more than socially acceptable to get lost in a bottle of bourbon. 1710 Alton Rd., Miami Beach; 786-882-3528; brotherskeeperbar.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Club Space<\/p>\n Are you in a funk, and the only cure is to dress like a unicorn and dance by yourself at 7 a.m. on Sunday morning? We\u2019ve got a spot for you. Club Space is internationally known and loved for good reason, and isn\u2019t great music a salve for almost all of life\u2019s miseries? Wear pretty much whatever you want (or nearly nothing), and you\u2019ll fit right in. Dance like no one is watching (everyone else is, anyway). 34 NE 11th St., Miami; 702-738-1333; clubspace.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n El Dorado Furniture: Airport Outlet<\/p>\n When screaming into a pillow doesn\u2019t cut it, try shouting into the booming engines of airplanes taking off and landing at MIA\u2019s runway 09. Plane spotters suggest you pass the furniture store until you reach the railroad tracks, and then park at the end of the road. There, you can be the main character of your biopic, silently (or loudly) cursing all the passengers coming to and from their glamorous trips while you\u2019re picking up the pieces of your own fragile life. 1201 NW 72nd Ave., Miami; 305-477-1909; eldoradofurniture.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n IPIC<\/p>\n When we watch a sad movie while nursing a broken heart, it feels like it\u2019s speaking directly to us. That\u2019s why we recommend a solo mission to the theater when you\u2019re deep in the feels. This one is comfy, with oversized recliners and blankets, and its menu is stacked with emotional support food, like chicken tenders and warm soft pretzels. Make sure to cry loudly from your seat, so everyone knows exactly why you\u2019re there. 3701 NE 163rd St., North Miami Beach; 786-563-7061; ipic.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Miami Beach Boardwalk<\/p>\n Take that nervous energy on a seven-mile oceanfront rage walk, because we live in Miami for a reason, goddammit. The sun is shining, despite the dark clouds over your head, and even in the depths of your despair, you can surely appreciate fresh air, a cool breeze, and the soothing crashing of waves. It\u2019s not all sunshine and rainbows, though. E-bikes are strictly prohibited, which gives you full authority to scream at them when they inevitably pass you by.
