I've always been the "relationship type." Ever since freshman year of high school, I can't remember a moment in my life when I was single for a long period of time. You learn a lot about yourself, and what you want out of a relationship, by dating. I have had my fair share of heartbreaks, and even though it's cliche, time really does heal everything. We have to learn that we can't make people love us, and we don't need a someone to make us feel special.

1. "One of the hardest things to do in life, is letting go of what you thought was real."

Women are thought to be more emotional than men; we like to feel secure and plan out our lives ahead of time. It's easy to picture someone how you want them to be, and not take who they really are into account. Once you realize that all of the feelings you thought they had for you were false, it's much easier to let the butterflies fly away.

2. "Starting today, I need to forget what's gone, appreciate what still remains, and look forward to what's coming next."

I know that it is hard to accept that someone may not want to be with you anymore, but don't let that consume you. Appreciate everything good in your life. Are you going on a vacation, soon? Is your family healthy? Do your friends adore being around you? These are questions you have to ask yourself. Make a list of everything that is going your way. It's important to have something to look forward to each and every day, even if it is just writing in your diary before bed. Don't forget to live for yourself. Do what you love to do.

3. "I think part of the reason why we hold on to something so tight, is because we fear something so great won't happen twice."

Whether it was a few months or a few years, breakups still hurt. Spending any amount of time with someone causes you to become attached. After you're no longer with someone you cared about, it's easiest to blame yourself and think no one else will want you. No matter what, make sure you remind yourself that there are wonderful people out there who would love to fall head over heels for you.

4. "Never lose yourself while trying to hold on to someone who doesn't care about losing you."

There is nothing worse than losing who you are while with someone you love. If that starts to happen, then that relationship is toxic. You don't need a person who changes you for the worse. If someone doesn't want to be with you, let them go. It isn't worth changing yourself for someone who doesn't love you for you. You have to love yourself before you can love another.

5. "A person that truly loves you will never let you go, no matter how hard the situation is."

If a person is really in love with you, they will try everything in their power to make it work. They will not throw in their cards because of a petty fight. Someone who truly has those genuine feelings for you will always be there for you. This person is your soulmate.

6. "Crying over a guy? Nah. Pick up your head, princess, your tiara is falling."

After a breakup, the best medicine is to just smile and be confident. Remind yourself that you are a princess, and someday you will find the prince who deserves you. Confidence is key. Bring out your inner Grace Kelly Being independent is an important trait. No one should have to depend on another for happiness. Someone who truly loves you will always bring out the best in you.
