In This Article:

I've recently discovered the show The Mrs. Marvelous Maisel on Amazon Video, and it is officially my new favorite show. Season three where you at?! Midge is the perfect housewife with the perfect husband and the perfect little family and lives in a perfect little huge apartment in the upper west side. But, spoiler alert, it all gets flipped upside down and Midge is forced to make some big discoveries of her own. Little did she know her picture-perfect life was holding her back all along. The post-breakup journey is a rough one, but if you do it right it can be a journey of self-discovery, growth, and enlightenment.

So here are the post-breakup stages as told by Midge in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel:

1. The initial shock sets in

You don't know what you did wrong, or why this is happening to you. You have so many great qualities AND you're funny?

2. One thing leads to another...

3. And you're here.

Next thing you know you're a couple of glasses an ENTIRE wine bottle in and you're in for a night full of regrets.

4. The wine bottle takes over

Now you're saying what's REALLY on your mind. Regretful? Maybe. Therapuetic? 100 percent.

5. OK maybe you could have left this part out...

6. You've sobered up and...

While it felt good at the time you feel like you could have maybe expressed your emotions a little differently.

7. You own it and move on

8. And then it hits you

You have so much time for YOU. Why not use this hurt as fuel to spend time on yourself. It's time to thrive and, yes, this is a thing.

9. Now you're eating whatever you want

"Why do we pretend we're not hungry when WE'RE HUNGRY?" Pizza > a flat stomach.

10. You're the life of the party

https://giphy.com

11. You have a new job

https://giphy.com

Or maybe a new haircut...

12. And now you're truly thriving

13. And when you see your ex out and about...

All you'll want to do is thank him. Cause walking out of your life is the best thing he did for you. Thank u, next.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
