10 Empowering Songs To Help You Get Over A Breakup
Rolling Stone

Breakups are difficult for everyone, but possibly the best part of a breakup is getting over it. But that can be very difficult. Luckily, there is a whole list of songs out there made just to help you get over whoever it was that broke your heart. From nice girls telling you the rules on how to get over boys to girls screaming about how to get revenge, it is all out there, and it is all awesome. Oh, and I did make a YouTube playlist and a Spotify playlist.

1. "New Rules" - Dua Lipa

If you need a kind and pretty girl and her friends to tell you how to get over that boy, I have found the song for you.

Best Lyric: "One, don't pick up the phone/ You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone"

2. "Woman" - Kesha

An empowering song about the fact that YOU are a woman and you don’t need a man.

Best Lyric: "Don't buy me a drink, I make my money/ Don't touch my weave, don't call me 'honey'"

3. "Shout Out To My Ex" - Little Mix

A song explaining why men aren’t always the best, but why we should thank our exes for they did--or didn’t--give us.

Best Lyric: "Shout out to my ex, you're really quite the man/ You made my heart break and that made me who I am"


4. "Send My Love To Your New Lover" - Adele

Once you actually, truly, get over someone, you can understand and relate to this song.

Best Lyric: "We've gotta let go of all of our ghosts/ We both know we ain't kids no more"


5. "We Don’t Talk Anymore" - Charlie Puth

Looking back at the way you and someone used to be can be a painful experience, but this song at least makes it something to dance to.

Best Lyric: "Should've known your love was a game/ Now I can't get you out of my brain"


6. "Bad Girls" - M.I.A.

Who needs a man, or woman, when you are a bad girl who kicks ass?

Best Lyric: “Live fast, die young, bad girls do it well.”


7. "Before He Cheats" - Carrie Underwood

People that cheat are terrible people and we don’t need ‘em.

Best Lyric: "I slashed a hole in all four tires/ Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats"


8. "100 Letters" - Halsey

A whole song about being glad that what had happened is over and being glad you didn't give them more than you did.

Best Lyric: "But I don't let him touch me anymore/ I said 'I'm not something to butter up/ And taste when you get bored'"


9. "Sorry Not Sorry" - Demi Lovato

Another song about being the baddest and not needing anyone to tell you that.

Best Lyric: "Being so bad got me feelin' so good/ Showing you up like I knew that I would"


10. "Picture To Burn" - Taylor Swift

The queen of breakup songs herself in her prime.

Best Lyric: "There's no time for tears, I'm just sitting here/ Planning my revenge"



Break ups are hard, but there is nothing better than blasting some good music and dancing around your bedroom like you just don't care! So get out there and show the world what you're made of!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
