The 5 Stages Of Grief You Went Through Listening To Adele's New Single

So Adele released a new single…

Stage One: Denial

This is not happening. This is NOT happening. Adele did not just release this song right here, right now. She’s supposed to still be “chasing pavements.” Adele has like a kid and a family. She cannot relate to MY love life anymore. This song is not going to be a thing.

After listening to the first 30 seconds of the song…

Stage Two: Anger

You already “set fire to the rain” and “rolled in the deep” and now you think you can just say “hello” and literally break my heart? Literally what the hell Adele? What the hell? Who do you think you are? You think you can just come out with a single like that that literally speaks to the depths of my soul? I’m done with you. DONE.

After hearing the first chorus…

Stage Three: Bargaining

Why does this have to be so perfect? Why is her voice like a god? Please Adele spare us all. No more music like this. No more. I know that “rumor has it” that you are coming out with a new album. And I beg you please do not let every song be like this one. I won’t be able to handle it. I’m begging you Adele. Don’t do this to me.

After one minute thirty seconds into the song...

Stage Four: Depression

There will NEVER be “someone like you.” *Hysterical crying* More hysterical crying* Wheezing* More Crying* My eyes are literally bloodshot and my nose is dripping. I am in the middle of Starbucks currently sobbing like I’ve just lost my lover forever. Maybe it’s because I HAVE and Adele you just brought all the emotions right back.

After an hour of listening to “Hello” on repeat…

Stage Five: Acceptance

“I won’t let you close enough to hurt me.” It’s okay. I like it here on “the other side.” On the outside. I’m really okay. This is real life. Stuff happens. But I got this. I can do this. This will be MY song. And I will sing it at the top of my lungs every time I hear it. And that person will know when I post a snap on my story of me singing it that I am OKAY. I like it here on the “other side” without them. Or that at least that’s what I hope they think.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
