6 Steps To Moving On

Weather you just got out of a bad break-up, or you just need to get over someone who is completely not for you, people have been looking for many ways to just feel better.

1. Happy Food

It has been proven chocolate does make us feel better. I always turn to my favorite Ferrero Rocher, a big thing of cookie dough, pizza, and anything else that taste amazing. Though eating my feelings may not be the best thing to do on a daily basis, if it's just for one night call a bestie, or even if you want to be alone and binge watch some movies and stay in your room by all means, do it for that one day, one weekend tops. It is alway ok to cry and if anyone tells you otherwise they are so wrong. Just make sure your not doing this on the daily otherwise you'll have another problem besides a broken heart. Honey, you don't need that its harder to lose the weight, and you don't want to risk the health problems.

2. Hit the gym.

Put all your built up frustration into the gym. There is nothing better than coming up with a banging body. Nothing feels better than saying I was hot before, but look at me now, I can walk up the stairs without being out of breath, but no really. Working out is an amazing stress relif. After you have your Happy Food phase, burn that weekend off, and start a new better lifestyle. Getting stronger and healthier is incredibly empowering, plus there is a whole bunch of eye candy at the gym to keep your mind of of you know who.

3. Start doing you, boo.

Get back into the things you used to love doing, or always wanted to, but never got the chance to. Try that recipe you never got to, take a cooking class. Go see a movie alone, it's actually not that bad. Go on an adventure. Make some memories with your friends. Go shopping, shopping definitely helps me. Try out a new or your favorite restaurant. Rock climbing, sky diving, bungee jumping. Or even poetry, getting everything down into work. Work is a great distraction. Pamper yourself, whatever it is start doing you again.

4. Drop the social media

Don't be petty and block him on everything, be an adult, but at the same time. Do not look at his social media. Do not text him either! I strongly believe that especially nowadays. We kill ourselves, checking up on them, there going to intensionally post things for you to see, how great there doing. It's a trap. Don't torture yourself. A friendship can be made with an ex, but give it time.

5. You have friends for a reason

This time is the best for a BFF time, or even your parents. They were there at one point or another. Whoever you trust, should be there for you especially when your not feeling so you. While alone time can be beneficial, don't torture yourself with your own thoughts, spend time with those who help you get your mind off of it.

6. Time

Even Wonder Woman wouldn't be able to get over someone in a day. Give yourself time. Time will ultimately heal your wounds. And please do Not try and kill that time with someone else. Find what makes you happy. It's ok to be single. It's awesome. You have to Love yourself before someone can ever Love you.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
