10 Ways To Grow After A Break-Up
7 Themes

Break ups aren't fun. A break-up, whether it was out of your control or not, is a loss. It's a loss you're going to grieve no matter how much it needed to happen. Coping and grieving with the feelings and the loss of the break-up is not easy, but by doing the healthy things with the best people by your side, you will get there.

While you can just lay down and fall into a depression to get through it, there are a lot better, healthier (and more fun) ways.

1. Girls Night!!!

I always have and always will need my friends. Go out, dance, have fun! All you can do is remember who has your back. They will definitely help you through this.

2. Talk about how you're feeling.

The best people to listen are the ones who know you best. So before or after your crazy outing, y'all gotta talk.

3. Eating your feelings is okay.

Maybe once or twice... We got better things to do.

3. Sing/scream about your feelings

The good, the bad, and the ugly — all of your feelings are okay and valid.

5. Realize you are number one.

Loving someone is great; it can be an adventure. As hard as the break up is, as much as you loved them, you HAVE to love yourself more. You are so important and a beautiful soul.

6. Remember that you slay.

It hurts right now, but I can guarantee, your self-worth will always shine through.

7. Listen to you favorite empowering music!

"Now I'm out here lookin' like revenge, feelin' like a ten, the best I've ever been.And yeah, I know how bad it must hurt to see me like this but it gets worse (wait a minute). " — The Queen herself, Demi Lovato

8. Better yourself

Practice self-care: go to the gym, take care of yourself, get enough sleep, drink water, you do you! Be the best version of you!

9. Separation from your ex is okay!

Avoid the obsessive stalking and checking up on them.

Trust me. *nervous laugh*

10. Don't feed into the drama.

No break up is going to be drama free and pretty. You and your ex's significant other know what happened. If people want to add to it, so be it.

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.
