It ended badly; she cheated, he lied. It is time to move on. The girl gets out the ice cream and movies; the guy throws a few things
around and acts immature. The ping pong of emotions goes back and forth. If it ended so badly, why fix why bother trying to fix it? Why should I have to wear a certain shirt to a date? Or convert to your stupid
music? Why change who you are just to fit the parameters of someone who
clearly doesn’t appreciate you for you? Kurt Cobain said it best: “I would rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I’m
not.”
Bad breakups happen, and that should not get in the way of
your pursuit of happiness. When I say bad breakup, I mean
horrendously terrible, monumentally catastrophic -- to the point where you cannot even be friends. At that point, you should not even bother.
With social
media, and everyone always having a watchful eye, it is best to
delete them entirely, as if they never existed. That seemed to work for me. I
don’t know if it tears them up or not, nor do I care. Emotions do not come from the heart, only the mind. Letting that person walk all over your mind is not fair to you and can only drag
you down.
I am no love guru,
nor did I write the book on relationships. I’m a common man, and like every
other person I have feelings. I have highs and lows, good days and bad days. Like every other growing man, I have good relationships, as well as bad. In
fact, most have ended up as bad, terrible, miserable roller coasters. Everyone's stories are different, so I can’t speak for everyone on how a
relationship should be and, more importantly, how it should end.
Growing up, I have tried it all. Worst part of any relationship is the
separation, and the feelings that come from the fallout. Some of us are
blessed with relationships that end on good terms, although for most, it seems to end in a giant cluster of emotions and feelings. One of the most immature breakups I’ve dealt with was dating my
ex-best friend. But if it wasn’t for her, then I wouldn’t have ended up the
one -- not to be cliché, but the one that got away.
The big part of handling a breakup is learning to be mature
about it, as well as grow. Learn from the mistakes that you and your significant other have made.

Well, if you have found someone like this, you have found a best friend for LIFE. I have a few girls I am blessed to call "best friends." National Best Friend Day was just a few days ago, so I decided to write about those girls who keep me sane.

I consider myself an extremely blessed individual. I mean, to put up with me is a job on its own, but to actually be my best friend through it all is something to be proud of. I could not be more thankful for the best friends I have in my life.
"A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." -Proverbs 18:24
King of Wallpapers
1. Southern Gothic
I don't know what it is about this playlist, but it always makes me feel like I should be burrito-ed up in a blanket, sipping a cup of coffee. It will definitely get you pumped for Autumn.
2. Autumn Acoustics
This playlist really gets you ready for Autumn. The acoustic tracks featured make you feel like you should be with your friends around a bonfire, looking at the stars.
3. Autumn Leaves
This playlist makes me wish I had a pumpkin spice latte on hand immediately. I personally prefer listening to this one when I can curl up with one of my favorite books of poetry. It's so calming, and makes me wish the cooler weather could make its appearance sooner rather than later.
4. Deep Dark Indie
What's more fitting for Autumn than an Indie playlist? Honestly, I don't think there is.
5. Dreamy Fall
Honestly, the title says it all. The songs on this playlist soothe you and get you more ready for fall than you ever thought possible. Plus, Heartstrings by Leighton Meester is on this playlist. Could it get any better?
6. Halloween Hipster
Okay, I know that the word 'hipster' being in this playlist may very well put some people off of it, but trust me, it's a great playlist. When you just need to get yourself in the Halloween mood, this is the playlist to do it.
7. Wanderlust
What's better than a road trip in Autumn? Almost nothing. Channel your inner love for road trips and fall into this one playlist. It's so fitting for the season.
8. Your Favorite Coffeehouse
In my opinion, there is no better place to be in the middle of Autumn than in your local coffee shop. Being surrounded by the smell of coffee and the crispness of the air wafting inside as people come and go are so calming, and really embody the feeling of fall for me. This playlist will put you right there, in your favorite coffeehouse in Autumn.
Though the temperature may not be enough to get you in the fall mood, these playlists are sure to do the job. So curl up in your bed, grab your favorite mug of coffee, and let these playlists get you ready for when the temperature does fall.

5. Another fun part of October is to go to corn mazes which are sometimes fun and hard to do with friends and family.
