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.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
