I am a workaholic. Once I find something I like to do, I do it with 100% effort. In between my sorority and being a college student-athlete, love gets put on the back burner. One thing that gets me through is music. Relationships, man. They come and go. Music will always remain the same (unlike all my past boyfriends.) Here are lyrics I have found that correlate with each stage of a failed relationship.
Drake: "You know life is what you make it / And a chance is like a picture / It'd be nice if you just take it"
Taking a chance on someone is like jumping in a river for the first time. All your friends are doing it, so you think.. why not? You're scared, and everyone is pushing you to do it. Listen to Drake, take the chance.
So you finally get the guts to jump in, aka text him back.
Chance The Rapper: "Everybody's somebody's everything, I know you right / Nobody's nothing, that's right"
ALL OF THE FEELS. The sweet stage of a relationship. Everything is new, doors are being opened, lunch dates, etc. We've been there.
Chance The Rapper: "I hope every soda you drink is already shaken up"
Yikes,
arguing. The petty stage. Someone lied or did not tell the whole truth
and now feelings are hurt. Let's be like Chance. We can hope their soda
is already shaken up and then it spills all over their MacBook Pro. Also
doubles as the sad stage... when you know deep down the relationship
just is not going to work. Cue: "Grey's Anatomy" and ice cream.
Kanye West: "The plan was to drink until the pain was over / But what is worse, the pain or the hangover?"
Re-freaking-tweet. You have to go through rain before the rainbow; just do not use alcohol as an umbrella.
Drake: "Please start doing you, I have been doing me / And I'm a staple in my city, you can never ruin me"
No one can pull you down, girlie. You are a staple in the city. If you see him at that downtown bar, shoulders back and head high.
Big Sean: "I put everything into motion, like I-N-G"
Big Sean just does it for me... Wow. Do you plan to move on? Or are you MOVING on? Put it into motion. Onto the next one... *peace sign emoji*
