Fall back in love with yourself and learn to see yourself the way everyone else sees you.

Huffington Post

Going through a breakup can be incredibly hard. You have to change your everyday routine; your texting, phone calls, and snapchatting habits become different.

You feel different day in and day out. You feel this pain in your gut that you just can't explain. The pain is so deep you feel it in your bones. As you think back to happier times, you find yourself losing your sense of who you are and everything you want out of life.

You can't face this alone.

Stop trying to run from your problems, and let me be there for you. Let me be the best friend that I am here to be, no matter what. You need to let me be there while you cry and drink some more, while you scream at the pain.

You are so brave.

You gave yourself to someone for a long time. Despite the situation, you have kept yourself together and I am so proud of you.

Take time to fall back in love with yourself.

There is no need to jump right back into another relationship. Learn to love yourself again for all that you are and can do for this world. Understand your worth.

You're worth loving.

Every time you go through a breakup, it is easy to wonder what went wrong. Was there something you could have said or done to make it different. No matter the mistakes you made, you're worth loving. Remember that.

You can learn from this.

I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason. Maybe it’s not all predetermined and planned, but I believe that everything makes us better. Never regret what you learned from this.

No matter what they will always hold a special place in your heart. One day you'll be able to feel OK again. You're going to heal and feel whole again. Until that day comes, grow and love yourself.

You can handle anything.

After a breakup, everyone feels it necessary to insert their opinion. Maybe they’re upset you broke up with your partner, or perhaps they’re glad and they feel like they need to trash talk your ex. Either way, you’re catching a lot of flak from all sides.

Don't let that get you down. In the end, all we have in this world is each other.

It sucks; I know. The friends you thought you had, the people you thought would be there in your wedding are now cutting you with their eyes and ignoring you. It is OK and you can handle it. I know at the end of the day you know what is best.

To my best friend: you've got this. You are smart, beautiful, caring, and funny. Don't forget everything you aspire for while you're trying to find yourself again. Fall back in love with yourself and learn to see yourself the way everyone else sees you. I hate that your heart ever had to be broken, but while it is cracked, let me be here for you.

I am here. Always.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
