Forgetting That One Idiot

You thought you were the O.T.P., but hey face the reality: your relationship's over.

Forgetting That One Idiot
Warren Wong

You start a relationship, and surprisingly it lasts almost a year. You are on cloud 9, thinking how successful you are that your relationship has surpassed the traditional expiry date of a couple of months. You receive a text from your significant other after your one year anniversary, and it says that the both of you need to talk.

You mistook it for a casual date and get your hopes up to see your other. You both meet up, and the significant other tells you how he or she has been unsure of the relationship you both share, and he or she doesn't want to continue it further. Basically, you break up...what do you do?

Now, unfortunately, break ups suck. Such emotions blur most intuitions, and they lead to a spiral of negative actions that one regrets later. However, there should be no regret stemming from a relationship in which the person ditches you: that person did not deserve you whatsoever. It is NOT the end of the world if one person doesn't want you. However, here are a few tips to get yourself out of that heartache:

1. Look At Yourself in the Mirror.

The mirror will help you see yourself for who you are, and it will remind you of what the other is missing out on. Trust me, the mirror can magnify your perfections like it can magnify your imperfections. It just depends on your perspective.

2. Dance It All Away.

Nonsensical dancing is the answer to getting rid of all your worries. When you turn up the music high and dance like a maniac, you feel free of yourself and any worries that may have been weighing you down. Try it out!

3. It's High-Time You Spent Some Quality Time With The Fam.

Your family can help you out of any emotional mess. However, if that is not an option, your friends, particularly your best friends, is your next best option. Rant to them, tantrum to them, spill out your anger, and you will feel relieved.

4. Flush That Idiot Out!

Any memory associated with your ex should be removed from your life. My suggestion, fill a box of the idiot's stuff and toss it. Better yet, flush the idiot's images down the toilet. Just start afresh.

5. Just Smile.

Smiling is harder than frowning, and I bet all you want to do is frown. Remember, that person does not deserve that frown, and you don't deserve wasting your life away in sorrow. Find happiness in the little details, and trust me you'll be content.

You shouldn't sink in heartbreaks. Yes, you gave your 100% to that person; but, if that person doesn't respect that, don't let the person's rejection drive your life. Accelerate into the next phase of life, which is being a kickass single lady or lad.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
