Brokenhearted: Overcome by grief or despair

In terms of feelings, it is hard to find one worse than the feeling of a broken heart. It's that feeling where your heart is in your stomach, you are nauseated, the tears just flow out of your eyes, and nothing feels okay in the world. You ugly cry. You struggle to eat. You dread being alone because you know your mind is ready to tear you apart. It's sickening, it's debilitating, and it seems nearly impossible to overcome.

During this time, it is vital that you remember what God has said to you, what God desires for you, and what God has promised you.

This is what the good Lord has to say about your broken heart. This is what He has promised you.

"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit." -Psalm 34:18

God is with you at all times, and He is especially near to you during this painful time you are experiencing. And not only is He right there with you, He has big plans of saving you from this, and bringing you through it. He wants to walk beside you. He wants to carry you. He wants to hold your hand through this entire situation, and deliver you from this pain to a better life. He wants to help you through this into a world of blessings.

All you have to do is simply allow Him to be there. Do not turn away from God in your pain. Do not run from the hand He is offering you. Do not be mad at God because you are experiencing pain, but be joyful that He is willing and ready to make it better.

Remember something else that God has promised you.

"For I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" -Jeremiah 29:11

God only wants the best for you, and He only has good things for you. He has said that to you and He means it. You may not be able to see it yet, you may not even see a spark of light at the end of the tunnel, but you can rest in the peace of knowing that good things are coming.

Be patient in waiting for God's perfect timing to heal you, be peaceful in knowing that blessings and healing are on their way, and be restful in the Lord, allowing Him to walk beside you, on your way to the greatness that He has for you.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

507

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
