10 Ways To Grow After A Break-Up
7 Themes

Break ups aren't fun. A break-up, whether it was out of your control or not, is a loss. It's a loss you're going to grieve no matter how much it needed to happen. Coping and grieving with the feelings and the loss of the break-up is not easy, but by doing the healthy things with the best people by your side, you will get there.

While you can just lay down and fall into a depression to get through it, there are a lot better, healthier (and more fun) ways.

1. Girls Night!!!

I always have and always will need my friends. Go out, dance, have fun! All you can do is remember who has your back. They will definitely help you through this.

2. Talk about how you're feeling.

The best people to listen are the ones who know you best. So before or after your crazy outing, y'all gotta talk.

3. Eating your feelings is okay.

Maybe once or twice... We got better things to do.

3. Sing/scream about your feelings

The good, the bad, and the ugly — all of your feelings are okay and valid.

5. Realize you are number one.

Loving someone is great; it can be an adventure. As hard as the break up is, as much as you loved them, you HAVE to love yourself more. You are so important and a beautiful soul.

6. Remember that you slay.

It hurts right now, but I can guarantee, your self-worth will always shine through.

7. Listen to you favorite empowering music!

"Now I'm out here lookin' like revenge, feelin' like a ten, the best I've ever been.And yeah, I know how bad it must hurt to see me like this but it gets worse (wait a minute). " — The Queen herself, Demi Lovato

8. Better yourself

Practice self-care: go to the gym, take care of yourself, get enough sleep, drink water, you do you! Be the best version of you!

9. Separation from your ex is okay!

Avoid the obsessive stalking and checking up on them.

Trust me. *nervous laugh*

10. Don't feed into the drama.

No break up is going to be drama free and pretty. You and your ex's significant other know what happened. If people want to add to it, so be it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
