We both know this isn’t the first time you’ve felt like this. You’ve found yourself here over and over again. Although this keeps happening, that doesn’t make the pain any less painful. It doesn't make you handle this any better. There isn't a way you can prepare yourself to lose someone you love so much. Sure, things may have changed a little but you still could have never imagined things ending like they did. No matter how long the relationship, or how full of passion, love is love. It's always going to feel like a knife to the heart when you know that you've lost it.

Every heartbreak leaves us with open wounds and it’s never something a simple band-aid can fix. The first cuts are usually the deepest of them all. We're only human though. We grow, we learn, we adapt. We do whatever it is that we have to do to survive. We may feel like we're dying on the inside but yet we still put a smile on our faces and act like we really aren't losing our minds.

Moving on can be hard, sometimes, it will feel nearly impossible. For a while you won't be able to go anywhere without seeing something that reminds you of them or reminds you of an old memory. It's going to get worse before it gets better. I’m here to tell you it will get better. You’re going to be able to look at his picture and not cringe. One day you will be able to look back at all of this and smile because you can't read an inbox without a little rain.

You’re going to find someone who finally makes you feel alive again. Time with him will always make you feel like it’s never going to end. You'll be so happy and it'll feel like there wasn't ever really a piece of you missing no matter how deep the cut. He's going to be the one; the one who saves you from yourself. He'll be your guiding light. He may not be exactly what you've dreamed but I promise you he will be exactly what you need. He'll love you like a song that's playing on the radio dial.

One day, you will find the right person. I may not know who that person is yet but I know he is out there. I’m sure whoever your person is isn’t going to come to you without scars of their own, but if it’s true then those scars won’t matter because they’ll just make you love them more for the person who’s conquered so much in life.

Life has so much to offer you right now, don’t let this one person be the reason you aren’t enjoying it. Go out, climb mountains, cross oceans, be happy. Don't go looking for love, love will always find it's way. Love life but more importantly love yourself.

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.
