The Bright Side To Getting Your Heart Broken

Why I am okay with getting my heart broken.

The Bright Side To Getting Your Heart Broken

Admit it, we've all done it...we've had that boy (or girl) that was head over heels for us but we were just not feeling it. We have also fallen in love with someone who didn't love us back, it's a vicious cycle that keeps going.

But it is OK!

I am not mad about my heart being broken, just like I have no regrets about breaking someone else's heart. Sure at the time it was not a good feeling, but I learned from my heart breaks...and I hope those hearts that I've broken have learned from me also. I'm giving them a chance to venture out and find out what they like in someone and find that someone who can reciprocate their feelings. I know they would not be happy with me because I was just not as into it as they were.

I am a strong believer in the saying"everything happens for a reason", getting my heart broken is just clearing the path for the one that will not break my heart; just like breaking hearts is allowing that person to find someone who will not break theirs and me finding someone who loves me and I can return those feelings of love to.

Sure breakups suck, it will take a while to heal and move on...it will be okay. Looking back at all of the times I have been broken, I actually thank those people for teaching me lessons and molding me into the woman I am now. I am also sure that the hearts that I have broken have (or eventually will) thank me for what I did, we show each other what we want and do not want for our future.

It is okay to break hearts, you cannot be expected to stay around someone who does not make you happy and they should not expect you to stay either. There is no point in being in a relationship where everything is one sided or fights are constant.

Dear boys I've spent time crying over, thank you for breaking my heart.

Dear boys whose hearts I've broken, if you haven't thanked me yet...you will. Down the road when you are surrounded by your beautiful family, you will thank me.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
