Heartbreak Is The Most Earth-Shattering Feeling You Can Experience, But That Doesn't Mean We Should Stop Trying To Find Love

Heartbreak isn't some cute, theatrical thing that can be cured by ice cream and chocolate.

I'm just gonna say it. Movies about heartbreak are total bullshit!

Why do films sugarcoat heartbreak as some cutesy little thing that happens that can be cured by ice cream and crying to sappy love movies? Don't forget the girl's mascara somehow just perfectly going down her face when she's crying, give me a break.

Of course, all heartbreak is different and my personal experiences can't speak for everyone, but I'm sure a lot of people can relate more to this than all of the movies.

Heartbreak is one of the most painful, earth-shattering feelings.

Of course, it's only temporary. But at that moment, it feels like your world is falling apart and you can't stop it but the world won't stop for you so the rest of the world is spinning and going along just fine while yours is falling apart. Heartbreak is hyperventilating and sobbing wondering where it went wrong, wondering how you can fix something that's beyond repair.

It's staying up for days at a time because you're too sad to sleep and if you sleep you can't bear the fact that when you wake up you'll have to face the reality that you lost the one you loved and your life won't be the same.

Hear me out, I know this sounds melodramatic and insane, maybe your experience has been totally different and easy and if that's the case, props to you!

You see, I'm a hopeless romantic. When I fall for someone, I either fall HARD or not at all. So when I'm talking heartbreak, I'm talking wow fuck my world up my life is falling apart and my heart is broken forever type heartbreak, not the little "oh darn my crush doesn't like me :(((". You would think I would learn to stop being this way and be more cautious and dip my foot in the pool but bitch I'M A SCORPIO, I'M PASSIONATE AND I MAKE BAD DECISIONS.

I've had my heart broken a few times in the short 19 years that I've been alive, and as my mom always tells me, I'll most likely have it broken a million times again before I find "the one."

God, I hope not. So if my future husband is reading this and you're trying to like.. not break my heart and marry me, hit me up maybe.

So let's face it, heartbreak isn't simple and it's not easy to fix. Heartbreak is a complex range of emotions and it can take Lord knows how much time to recover from it and move on. All wounds take time to heal and it's completely okay to take as much time as you need to heal fully and move on with your life. When it's right, you'll know.

I've had my heart broken time and time again and I'll have it broken many more times, but I take these times as a way to better myself, learn a lesson, and move on.

I'm gonna leave on a note with one of my favorite quotes. "The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing," - John Powell.

So fall hard, love unconditionally and don't regret a single minute of it.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself.
