How To Get Over A Breakup

Couples come and go, and although sometimes we feel as though the person we are with is the one, sometimes things happen and relationships end. As I get older I watch more and more of my friends go through breakups as well as breakups of my own. When you're going through a break up it can feel like the end of the world, but it's important to remember that there are things you can do to make yourself feel better, even if it's only for a little while.

While it may be hard to do anything else but wallow, just remember to surround yourself with your friends and the people who love you. Not only will they help you feel better, but getting out of your house and doing fun things will help distract you from thinking about the breakup.

Even though you may be sad, now is a time for you to focus on you and the things you like to do. Regardless of why you and your partner broke up, now is a time for you to focus on the things you like and the things that make you, you. It is easy to get caught up in another person, so take this time to do the things you like to do.

It is also a time for you to try new things, whether you were in a relationship for 2 months or 5 years, try new things and get out of your comfort zone. Hang out with your friends, go on a road trip, the world is your oyster.

The most important thing to remember when going through a breakup is that the pain is temporary. Eventually, you will feel okay again, but don't feel like you have to be okay all the time. Do whatever you need to do to feel better, let out the emotions so that you can start to move on.

Breakups suck, but there is no need to feel rushed to get over someone, take your time and surround yourself with people who support you.

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.
