15 Songs For The One Trying To Recover From Their Last Relationship

Music is the universal language of the world and like for most people, it not only got me through a bad break up but my rape experience, as well.

(Trigger Warning: This article contains sexual assault, depression, and suicidal experiences and profanity.)

Music has the incredible ability to transfer emotions from one person to the next. Everyone has a song that resonates with them on some deeper level. I don't know what I'd do without it. Heck, I'm listening to music right now, as I write this article. There's a song out there for every person and every experience.

Music has gotten me throughout, including you. You, who broke me down for years, you who raped and assaulted me, you who cheated and left me. So, here's all the songs that got me through my horrible experience and hopefully they can get some of you through your pain.

The first one is quite personal for me, for it almost exactly describes how my relationship ended. The song is about being in a relationship with someone who no longer puts effort into loving you and about coming to terms with how neglected you feel.

My ex and I didn't break up, because he cheated, he had done it before. We didn't break up, because he raped and assaulted me, I thought he loved me. We didn't break up, because we were so toxic to each other, we lived with it. We broke up because I felt so empty. He never tried to make me feel loved or wanted. He never fought for me. He never even cared to listen to me talk, his phone and games were more important to him than I could ever be.

I was so neglected, I felt that he was actually sucking my soul away. Each day, I exhausted myself a little more for him until I was barely breathing. I wasn't living, just surviving and I was so suicidal. When he cheated on me with a girl who was so young, I finally woke up. I knew I would never be enough. He was satisfied with whoever would put out for him, he didn't care about love.

Well, each one of these songs resonates a little with the feelings I went through during my break up and my assault experience. I link a Spotify playlist with these songs and a few others I also related to. I highly recommend you listen to them carefully, just maybe you'll hear my pain and healing in them.

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me

This one's for you, Spock.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.

You're Your Own Best Friend

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
