How To Get Over Your Ex

Getting over a breakup is just plain cruel

How To Get Over Your Ex

I know it is hard and super tricky to just forget something that had so much meaning to you. I get it. I was there a few times as well. It's hard to pretend that they do not exist. I know how hard it is to not just message them, call them, or even check their social media pages. But you have to move on somehow.

Delete them from all of your social media pages.

It's crazy, but you'll soon forget about them. Unless you all run around in the same circle. Then it may get a bit tricky.

Luckily for me, I was able to just sever the bond quickly, because I knew I didn't need that ish in my life. It was toxic to my life, and I feel so much better without him.

Hang out with old pals.

Maybe while you were with them, you did not get as much time to see you buds! Plan a getaway or go see a movie. Life can be so much easier when you have your pals by your side.

I clung to all of my friends, new and old, when mine ended. I was glad to have the company, and they seemed to have a mutual feeling. It's very therapeutic having a good bud to just vent to or plan something with when you are feeling down.

Discover yourself.

Although this is a tricky one even for me, going and doing things by yourself is okay. Spend a little alone-time catching up on the latest shows on Netflix, read a book, go shopping. Do whatever your heart desires, and put all of the effort you had towards the relationship back into you.

I still have a hard time taking my own advice. I get scared doing things alone. It's like people are judging when I have no one with me. Like I'm a loner of some sort. It's gotten a lot easier for me to do this, but with lots of practice. Sure, it may not be easy for you to do this as well, but you'll get the hang of it! I swear!

Return his items.

Give him back his stuff. It's easier to move on that way. You won't think back to the memories and by closing the door. Outta sight, outta mind.

Now, I feel like such a hypocrite telling you that because I never did that. It's not like I wanted to hold on to it, just I didn't want to see him. It's all in the past now and all of the hatches are buried.

These are just a few tips and tricks I have up my sleeve to help you all out in a time like this. It's definitely hard to get over them. Ultimately, this is YOUR decision to make, but I thought I'd put it out there!

Hope you all enjoyed this one! I want to create more articles tailored towards things you guys would like to hear or know about. Let me know in the comment below!

Hope you all have an amazing week, and I'll see you in the next one!

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.
