11 Signs You're Still In Love With Your Ex

After a breakup most people are more sensitive than in other times, but being sensitive weeks, months, and maybe even years later, not good. Sure I’ve had good times since my most recent breakup, but come on, there’s no way I should still feel like this.

  1. You’re still friends with them on social media.
    • You don’t have the guts to delete them, but you don’t want to see how their life is going.
  2. The smallest things remind you of them.
    • Every time I see a jewelry counter I can’t help but remember the ring my ex gave me, and the fact that I threw it away when we got into an argument.
  3. You’re always hoping to run into them.
    • Even though you most likely won’t say anything, just the thought of seeing them excites you.
  4. You constantly replay your favorite memory of them in your head.
    • Maybe it’s your first date or the first time you kissed, but you always seem to be thinking about it.
  5. You reread old messages.
    • I finally deleted our text thread, but I’m always thinking about our old conversations.
  6. You hope they still haven’t found someone else.
    • Getting back together isn’t an option, but you can’t fathom the thought of him moving on.
  7. You’re too nervous to even talk to other guys.
    • I’ll admit it took me probably 8-9 months to even think about talking to another guy, let alone talking to him.
  8. You want another relationship.
    • You’re not ready for a relationship, but you try to convince yourself that you’re ready. Please stop lying to yourself, you aren’t ready.
  9. You can’t see the negative side of the relationship.
    • What is a fight?
  10. He’s the first person you want to call when you’re upset.
    • Then to only realize he’s not there to comfort you anymore – usually just makes things worse.
  11. When your friends bring him up it’s the worst.
    • You try to hide the instant pain of their name, while also trying to convince your friends that you hate him.

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.
