Your Breakup Playlist For Your Post-Valentine's Day Blues
Mashable

Valentine's Day has come and gone. Perhaps you got to eat chocolate, decorate your apartment in pink and hearts, and if you're lucky enough to be taken, get a romantic day with your partner. However, for those of us who aren't in a relationship, we can blast ex-partners and listen to breakup songs that remind us why it's great to be single, both on February 14th and far beyond it. Here are some of the best breakup songs from a few different genres.


1. "Hurricane" by Theory of a Deadman

This is a song that reflects on a failed relationship, trying to put together the pieces and see what went wrong. This entire album, "The Truth Is," was written in response to the lead singer's divorce shortly before it was recorded. This is a haunting song that compares a toxic relationship to a hurricane, and at the end of the song, the singer learns to escape.

2. "We Are Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together" by Taylor Swift

This list wouldn't be complete without one or two Taylor Swift songs. While she has many amazing breakup songs, this one is upbeat and reminds us all that we are so much happier without toxic relationships and toxic people. This is so much fun to sing along to with friends and to remind your significant other that a breakup only happens once.

3. "Your Love is a Lie" by Simple Plan

This song is about a lover scorned, who realized that he was being cheated on. This is a great anthem for when you realize that your partner isn't the person you thought they were.

4. "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood

This is another song to belt out when you're a lover scorned, as Carrie Underwood destroys the possessions her partner loved after she realized that she had been cheated on. This is a classic breakup song great for karaoke night.

5. "I Hate Everything About You" by Three Days Grace

This angry song showcases the annoyance and misery you feel when you realize you love an awful person.

6. "Breakeven" by The Script

Sometimes someone you love breaks up with you. And it hurts. This song showcases that pain when you love someone who doesn't love you back.

7. "Picture To Burn" by Taylor Swift

This is another great song for karaoke night, about how you let go of a past relationship, especially when that person is toxic.

8. "The Truth Is (I Lied About Everything)" by Theory of a Deadman

Let go of all the lies you've told throughout a relationship, now that you can finally tell someone how you truly feel.

9. "This Little Girl" by Cady Groves

We all feel murderous after a breakup. This singer took it a bit too literally. However, it's a fun reminder that any girl can be murderous if she gets hurt.

10. "Irreplaceable" by Beyonce

Let's end with my favorite Beyonce song, about how you can do better after a relationship. No matter how hard your partner tries to convince you otherwise.

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.
