5 Things that Can Help You get Over Your EX

1.) Time

Yes I know, this is probably the tip that everyone hears the most but it is true. Time is the best cure for everything. Especially when it comes to getting over your ex. You'll feel better a year or a month later than you did the day after everything happened.

2.) Meet new people

I know it may be hard to think that someone else can be as important to you as your ex was but don’t be afraid to try to find somebody else eventually. Remember, once upon a time you didn’t know your ex either. One person can have such an effect on your life. There’s millions of people out there waiting for you to find them and make a difference in their life. Think of it that way. Positivity all around.

3.) It’s okay to cry

Everyone is upset after a break-up. People will understand if you need some time to cry. Don’t be ashamed. It’s actually a healthy thing to let it all out. Take a day for yourself to watch your favorite t.v. show on Netflix and eat all of your favorite foods. Who doesn’t love doing that? That will make you feel better and like a king or queen.

4.) Try new things

Do something that you’ve always wanted to do, like joining a sports league. Doing those kinds of things will also help you meet new people. Also, try new things that you never have. If you’ve never gone somewhere, plan a mini getaway for yourself. It’s okay to treat yourself every once in a while. Book yourself a spa day, or a weekend of camping.

5.) Forgive them and yourself

Time doesn’t necessarily heal all of the pain of something you and your ex did in the past relationship. Your ex could have done something that really hurt you that you are still hanging onto, find it in you to forgive them. Trust me, it helps. Also, if you did something to your ex that you are guilty about forgive yourself. We all are human and make mistakes. We all make mistakes and we can learn from them for next time.

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.
