The Ultimate Breakup Playlist

For every emotion that breaks free with heartbreak.

The Ultimate Breakup Playlist
Otisele

I have been through a number of breakups in my time on this earth and I have always found that what always helps me through is good music. Music has a way to say what I didn't even think I was thinking in a way that sounds like I wrote it myself. When going through a breakup it's important to have this because often times you're not sure how to feel about it. There's the feeling of extreme loss and sadness towards the situation. There's the feeling of anger towards the person who let you down, or betrayed you, or whatever the situation may be. There are even the feelings of hopefulness towards your future and goodwill toward this person you've shared part of your life and soul with. I've attempted to make a playlist that covers all the emotions one can possibly feel in a breakup that I hope can help others, like me, who don't know where to turn when their world turns upside down.

Click here to listen to entire playlist.

Slow Dancing in a Burning Room -John Mayer

So What - P!nk

Not in that way - Sam Smith

Merry Happy - Kate Nash

Breakeven - The Script (I suggest the Colbie Caillat version)

Before He Cheats - Carrie Underwood

There's a Fine, Fine Line - Avenue Q

F*ck You - Lily Allen

Someone New - BANKS

Not Over You - Gavin DeGraw

I'm Still Hurting - The Last Five Years

Waiting - Alice Boman

Send My Love(To Your New Lover) - Adele

I can't make you love me - Bon Iver

Shout Out to My Ex - Little Mix

You could be Happy - Snow Patrol

I hope there is a song on here that describes whatever you are feeling. I attempted to touch on every possible emotion. If you want more material I suggest looking into the music of Adele, Taylor Swift, Amy Winehouse, and P!nk. I hope I have helped with any broken hearts out there.

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.
