He doesn't matter, but if you talk to him I'll be mad.

12 Signs You're Not Actually "So Over Him"
FAVIM

It's easy to say that you're over him, and your friends might actually be gullible enough to believe it. Heck, you might be gullible enough to believe it. But let's just put that to the test. Here are 12 signs that you are actually not "so over him."

1. You still think about the past...way way too much.

Everyone has to move on at some point. That is just life. But if you’re laying in bed every night, replaying every moment spent with your ex in your head, well, you’re just not ready. Don’t try to mask those feelings, 'cause your brain does keep you awake at night.

2. You intentionally avoid eye-contact.

So you’re walking around campus and see him. Funny how at that exact moment, something funny happens on social media or you get a text that lasts as long as it takes for him to walk by you...

3. You look for him everywhere you go.

Even though you’ll avoid making eye-contact, you still look for him everywhere you go. Is he eating lunch at the same time as you? Walking to class? In the Rec? Don’t deny it...you’re just “curious” as to how he is doing and living and breathing and stuff.

4. You stalk all of his social media.

By stalk, I literally mean stalk. Sometimes, you even get your friends to do some creeping for you. But they best not like anything because then he would know and that would not end well for you. And sometimes, you go a few days or maybe even weeks without creeping, but then something just makes you click on his page out of absolutely nowhere.

5. Anger fills your body when your friends talk to or about him.

Yeah they may have become friends with him too because of your relationship, but it just irks you the wrong way when they bring him up. You don’t mean to get mad, but it is still a touchy subject. And its worse when they bring him up in casual conversation because you say you’re “so over him.”

6. “I’m gonna say hi this time,” you say as you walk the opposite direction.

You know exactly what I am talking about. You’re brave and you think you can say hi until you do actually make the unavoidable eye-contact and then you get all nervous and the word ‘hi’ seems like it has ten syllables and is in a foreign language. So you just casually and awkwardly walk the opposite direction.

7. There’s a lot of nostalgia.The movies. The date nights. The places he took you. The inside jokes. Anytime its brought up, you get all sensitive and all up in your emotions. Enough said.

8. Seeing your friends with their boys makes you salty.

They’re your friends and you’re so happy for them. They have amazing guys that would do anything for them. But he isn’t there to do the same for you anymore. That bitterness shows even when you try your best to hide it.

9. Filling the void.

Talking about how cute a guy is, or how sweet he is, seems to take away the pain for a moment. Sometimes, you even go on dates, have movie nights, or cross lines that you’ll later regret. All because you know that for an hour or two, you’ll just forget.

10. You're a bit salty...and sappy.

Emotions are a roller coaster. But you know what fixes that? Sulking and a bunch of junk food that you'll complain about eating later.

11. The thought of actually moving on scares you.

He is all you’ve known for so long and you don’t want that to change. Moving on can mean that every aspect of your life is going to be different – not just your relationship status. And you know that you’ll miss him when your new boyfriend doesn’t do the same things or you’ll think of him when your new boyfriend doesn’t do enough. The ‘what if’s’ and being unsure of the future can scare the daylight out of you.

12. Your happiness still depends on him.

This is the most important. You put so much time, effort and love into being with him that your happiness depended on him – even though you didn’t recognize it at the time. When he left, he took a big part of your heart with him. Until you find that happiness in life and yourself, you aren’t over him...and that is okay. So just take your time and learn to be genuinely happy.


So maybe you're not actually over him. That is totally okay. Go grab some wine, tissues, chocolate, sappy movies and friends. I promise, one day, you will totally be "so over 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.
