How to get over that one dude

So I just want to start this out by saying its not your fault. Do not blame all this on yourself.

Sweet girl, trust me, I understand what you are going through. I got my heart broken when I was fifteen by an older boy I had been dating for eleven months. I think most girls go through their first heartbreak around 14-19 years old. And you know what? That really freaking sucks because that is a major developmental time period for us in our life. So if you are still stuck on that dude from a month or even years ago, just know that its normal. Everyone still thinks about that one someone every once in a while and if you don't, you're lying to yourself. But now onto my advice.

Give yourself time to be sad

I know that you're probably going to want to go hoe around little bit because you see him with a new girl already and you want revenge and I understand that. However, that will mess you up more than you know in the long run because you wouldn't have really given yourself a chance to fully process everything that happened. Spend this time to cry, do a face mask, and just do all the self love things us girls love to do.

Lean on your support system

Talk to your friends, family, whoever you want to about it. Talking about it, will also help you process everything and understand it. My friends and family helped me out a ton. They would constantly check on me and help me out if I was having a bad day. They would make me laugh when I was sad, they would hangout with me whenever I needed human interaction. Even if I didn't want to, they would drag me out of bed and take me on some adventure to get my mind off of things.

Love yourself and get back out there

Guys have this way of indirectly making us hate ourselves when we did nothing wrong. So say screw that and learn to love yourself. And when you feel the time is right, get back out there. Don't let one stupid boy ruin the rest of your love life. There are so many good guys out there waiting to get noticed by you. Go find them.

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.
