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.

1. Why is Wilson Hall so complicated to navigate? Even as a senior, I still get lost in Wilson. As a freshman, I was warned about the unnecessary complexity of the building, was laughed at by upperclassman for my confused looks on the first day of school and walked and rewalked the whole hall before finding my classroom. #annoying.

Blair Waldorf For governor of new york

What life would be like if the people were led by Queen B.

Blair Waldorf For governor of new york

Cynthia Nixon, a.k.a Miranda from Sex and the City, is running for governor of New York. I think that this would be the best decision that has been made in a while solely based off of the fact that almost no one knows New York like the cast of Sex and the City. This got me thinking about who else would be a good candidate to take over the city of dreams. Then I realized that Blair Waldorf, if she were a real person, would be my number one choice for governor. Here are five reasons why Queen B would be an excellent ruler.
