Just Because A Breakup Is Hard, Doesn't Mean It's Wrong

Of course it's hard. But remember why it happened.

Just Because A Breakup Is Hard, Doesn't Mean It's Wrong

Losing someone that has played a significant role in your life is never an easy thing to go through. If you loved that person,then letting them go means saying goodbye to a special bond that you have. Even if you know that it is the right thing to do, it is natural for you to be sad. It is perfectly acceptable.

All breakups are hard. But that doesn't mean that you weren't right to end it.

Of course you're going to miss them. They were a huge part of your life for a long time. Of course you miss the closeness that you used to feel when you were with them. The bond between two people in love is a bond that you cannot find anywhere else.

But I am going to take a guess here and say that you haven't felt that closeness in quite awhile, even before the breakup.

Somewhere, somehow, your relationship changed. You stopped being happy. Maybe they started taking you for granted, maybe they got mean. Maybe they changed in some other way. Or, maybe you changed. And that is okay.

No matter what exactly happened, you made the choice to end the relationship for a good reason. You chose to look for happiness again, and that is important. It is important to remember that. You deserve to be happy and you're not getting happiness from this person anymore.

You must remember this when it starts to get hard, which is an inevitable event. When you start to miss them, you have to think about why it ended.

You made the brave choice to end something that no longer brings you happiness. It was hard, but you did it. Now you need to keep choosing your happiness over and over again until it no longer hurts. Because I promise you, one day it is no longer going to hurt when you see their name. It is no longer going to make you want to cry every time you see their face.

You will feel happy again. Very happy.

Time will heal, you just have to stay strong and continue to remind yourself of why the breakup happened.

You can do this. Be brave and be strong. Choose your happiness.

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

You're Your Own Best Friend

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
