6 Types of Break Up Reactions

Break ups happen to the best of us. Maybe the relationship was not working out because of differences, or the two of you grew apart. Whatever the case may be, it's fair to say everyone deals with heartbreak differently. Which one do you most resonate with?

1. The Stone Face

"Break up? What break up?" These people are the ones who never talks about their ex. It is better to pretend like the relationship never happened. To them, their ex = magical unicorn. They cope by deleting every piece of evidence that the proves the relationship existed and you would rather not talk to ANYONE about their, "mistake."

2. The Broken Record

Unlike our first friend, the "Broken Record" talks ONLY about the relationship. You could be talking to this individual about Hot Cheetos and they will somehow bring the conversation back to how their ex loved them too. They will tell everyone about it, whetheryou want to hear it or not. But if they are your friend you listen anyways because you understand this is how they cope.


3. The Optimist

"Nah we are just taking a break." These people don't really accept the fact they are now a newly single man or woman. No matter what their friends say, they are under the impression things will work out, and wedding bells will ring soon.


4. The Social Media Blab

For this individual, their feelings are so transparent it seeps into their social media accounts. A day after the break up everyone will know how much you hate the other sex and think they are all pitted with evil. They will know you are a strong independent person that will only need coffee and your dog to feel better. But it's okay, you do you boo boo!


5. The Stalker

This person can't help themself from surveying their ex's social media profiles 24/7. You need to see if they are with anyone new, or are just as miserable as you are. While this may be a side effect of a pre-dopamine flooded brain, it's a little creepy...

6. Sad Song Repeat

Sad songs and ice cream are their best friends. They will know all the words to NeYo's song "So Sick," and the people at the grocery store know your routine. Bottom line is they find comfort in drowning themselves in song and that's okay!

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
