The First Date Back After A Break-Up
Postoast

The first date back after a heart break or a major let down is always hard to do. I've recently been discovering no one should have the power to hold me back; even if I have to to have 800 first dates before I have my last first date, eventually I'll get there, and so will you. Here are a few things that recently went through my head before a first date.

1. Do I really want to start all this again?

Is it worth the risk of having to start all over again, just to be hurt in the end?

2. What is the point?

They probably won't like me anyways.

3. This will probably end in flames too.

They always do. It's what I'm good at.


4. He is way hotter than my Ex, right?

"Hey! Look at this picture?! UPPPPGRADE right?!

5. What do I even wear to a first date?

I've emptied my entire closet, every drawer in my room, and my roommates closet, and yet I have NOTHING on my body. I have nothing to wear.

6. Do these shoes look okay?

I've settled for a t-shirt dress, heels are too dressy, sandals show I haven't painted my toes, and boots are too casual.

7. CRAP! I actually have to shave...

I normally just wear leggings and hide my body....

8. I should probably do my hair....and make up...

I don't even know when the last time I washed my hair was, let alone actually put make up on.

9. What if we have nothing to talk about?!

There's always the possibility of a completely awkward disaster.

10. I probably should order a salad... But I want a burger.

If I am being real, I know I'm a girl, but I more than likely can out eat you. I eat my feelings, my love for food has never failed me like men have.


11. What if there's lettuce in my teeth?

I knew I should have got a burger.

12. What if I have a booger?

I probably have a booger.


13. He is going to hate me.

14. Should I hug him?

Okay, bye? See ya later bro? I'm sorry I don't know how this works.

15. Wait... that was actually nice, can we do that again?

I over think everything, that was surprisingly amazing, I can't wait to do it again.

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.
