Reasons To Ditch Your Wardrobe After A Breakup

After breaking up there is this really weird period afterward of "Well what do I do now?"

For me everything that I used to do involved another person. My partner and I were together for two years within that time, its hard not to get tangled up in each other's lives.

But after a breakup, you are tragically or not so tragically ripped out of each other's lives. You have tons of pictures and things that were given to you by a person you don't recognize anymore. If you were in a relationship like me where you shared everything, it can be really hard to move on with memories hanging around.

The items that hurt the most was my clothing because some of it wasn't just my clothes. They were my clothes that we shared. If you are in a similar boat, I suggest you jump ship too. For starters getting ride of my old clothes allowed me to get rid of a lot of clothes that didn't fit me anymore. Over the course of a year, I lost 60 pounds, and my body has changed a lot.

To start there's no need to throw away any of your clothes unless they are beyond being used by someone else. Otherwise, bag up everything and donate it, it's better for the earth and it gives someone else a chance to refresh their wardrobe. If you have clothes you still like and want to keep, keep them.

The best part is searching for new items to fill your wardrobe. Remember you get to dress however you want. So buy things that make you happy and make you feel good. Never buy anything that makes you feel uncomfortable or because someone else tells you to buy it. Right now is your chance to really be you.

After you are done putting together your new wardrobe remember, you did this for you. Not for your ex.

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.
