Heartbreak Is The Most Earth-Shattering Feeling You Can Experience, But That Doesn't Mean We Should Stop Trying To Find Love

Heartbreak isn't some cute, theatrical thing that can be cured by ice cream and chocolate.

I'm just gonna say it. Movies about heartbreak are total bullshit!

Why do films sugarcoat heartbreak as some cutesy little thing that happens that can be cured by ice cream and crying to sappy love movies? Don't forget the girl's mascara somehow just perfectly going down her face when she's crying, give me a break.

Of course, all heartbreak is different and my personal experiences can't speak for everyone, but I'm sure a lot of people can relate more to this than all of the movies.

Heartbreak is one of the most painful, earth-shattering feelings.

Of course, it's only temporary. But at that moment, it feels like your world is falling apart and you can't stop it but the world won't stop for you so the rest of the world is spinning and going along just fine while yours is falling apart. Heartbreak is hyperventilating and sobbing wondering where it went wrong, wondering how you can fix something that's beyond repair.

It's staying up for days at a time because you're too sad to sleep and if you sleep you can't bear the fact that when you wake up you'll have to face the reality that you lost the one you loved and your life won't be the same.

Hear me out, I know this sounds melodramatic and insane, maybe your experience has been totally different and easy and if that's the case, props to you!

You see, I'm a hopeless romantic. When I fall for someone, I either fall HARD or not at all. So when I'm talking heartbreak, I'm talking wow fuck my world up my life is falling apart and my heart is broken forever type heartbreak, not the little "oh darn my crush doesn't like me :(((". You would think I would learn to stop being this way and be more cautious and dip my foot in the pool but bitch I'M A SCORPIO, I'M PASSIONATE AND I MAKE BAD DECISIONS.

I've had my heart broken a few times in the short 19 years that I've been alive, and as my mom always tells me, I'll most likely have it broken a million times again before I find "the one."

God, I hope not. So if my future husband is reading this and you're trying to like.. not break my heart and marry me, hit me up maybe.

So let's face it, heartbreak isn't simple and it's not easy to fix. Heartbreak is a complex range of emotions and it can take Lord knows how much time to recover from it and move on. All wounds take time to heal and it's completely okay to take as much time as you need to heal fully and move on with your life. When it's right, you'll know.

I've had my heart broken time and time again and I'll have it broken many more times, but I take these times as a way to better myself, learn a lesson, and move on.

I'm gonna leave on a note with one of my favorite quotes. "The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing," - John Powell.

So fall hard, love unconditionally and don't regret a single minute of it.

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.
