Girlfriends’ Guide to a Break-Up

Break-up’s are difficult to handle, and vary from person to person. There’s that person that doesn’t really think about it, and those that cry, and those that are constantly texting their now ex hoping for some answers. If you’re any of these people just know that it’s okay. There’s no one size fits all for handling a break-up, but here’s some helpful tips as told by the Grey’s Anatomy cast.

It’s okay to feel lost. This is very normal because this is the person you talked to every day for years, and shared everything with them. Without them in your life anymore it’s normal to not really understand what’s happening with your life.You're going to blame yourself, and you'll go over every single thing that happened and think "Why didn't I say something different? What would things be like now?"

Loneliness will come and go throughout different stages. Recognize it, and surround yourself with people that love you.

Frustration will also come and go. You’ll want to throw things, hit things, and just give up on everything. Embrace the anger, but don’t let it consume you.

Go out with your friends. I mean don’t get like super hammered, but why be sober either?'

Don't be the girl that keeps checking his social media to see what he's been posting about. Definitely don't try to contact his friends to try and figure out what happened either.



The Lexie Grey stage… Eating every time you’re stressed. This will happen, and you shouldn’t feel bad about it unless you’ve gained like 20 pounds.

Each person arrives, and passes through each of these stages. This pain you're feeling doesn't always get easier, and sometimes you still may want to scream. Even after months you may just breakdown one night because all you can do is look through old pictures.

Don't think too far into the future. Don't worry about the concert you got him tickets to, or if you'll ever get married now. Take each day as a new, and easier day.

Not every break-up is the same, but it's important to surround yourself with people that love you, keep yourself occupied, and remember that every day you wake up it gets easier. If it's meant to be it will be. I know how cheesy that sounds, but it's true. Give yourself and your ex some time to think things over, and then talk it out. If you figure things out then that's great. If you agree to part ways that's okay too. Just remember Grey's Anatomy will always be here for 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.
