I've Never Had A Boyfriend, But Trust Me, I Still Know Heartbreak
Lizz Braun

Yes, I've never had a boyfriend, but...

I still know heartbreak.

There have been so many times when I needed to crawl up with Chunky Monkey and cry my heart out. Second-hand breakup is a real thing. When my friends go through a breakup, it affects me too. I become so invested in relationships. Recently, my friend's heart was broken and when she sent me a text telling me about everything, I was in tears. I was not the one that experienced it, but I was still taken aback. More like I ate a bag of chips, cried, and watched a sad movie. It was horrible.

I give great boy advice.

For some reason, my friends that have had multiple boyfriends and relationships come crawling to moi for advice. I know the right things to text back: “no emoji.” I know how long to wait to answer: “wait 16 minutes.” And I know what to wear on date night: “Off the shoulder with light wash skinnies.” With all this great advice I have, I still cannot manage to find a boyfriend. It baffles me.

I make it through every valentines day alive.

My dad always comes in clutch with candy and chocolate covered pretzels every year. Chocolates from your best friends are fabulous. Also, the movie, Valentine’s Day, is amazing and so worth it. Plus, the day after, all the chocolate boxes are 70% off. Who needs a boy when you got boxes of fine chocolate?

Who really needs a boyfriend?

I don’t. I have made it through 17 years of life and I am still perfect. We live in a period of time when we do not need a man to get through life. Let’s stand and give a standing ovation to all the ladies who have not jumped from Jack to Ryan to Mike to Dan because those are the realest ladies. They have realized something other have not; that we are perfect when wearing sweatpants and a baggy T or a tight dress and pumps.

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.
