Why Heartbreaks Can Be A Good Thing

Think, in a way, some areas of our lives were meant to be hard because I believe that everything happens for a reason.

Why Heartbreaks Can Be A Good Thing
On Mogul

Have you ever felt like your entire heart was about to burst into a million tiny pieces? Or maybe it felt like a knife had just plunged through your heart? If so, then you have probably experienced what’s known as a heartbreak. A heartbreak can seem like one of the hardest things to go through because you were so attached to the other person. You meet this wonderful person and you begin to think that you could spend the rest of your life with them, and then in a blink of an eye, all your dreams diminish, and you are no longer with that person you thought you’d spend the rest of your life with.

It’s a difficult thing to overcome this horrible pain that’s held in your heart because you continue to wonder why that person doesn’t feel the same way or why you weren’t good enough. You’ve had so many memories with the other person from laughing so hard that you started to cry, to telling the other person the secrets you’ve never told anyone else.You come to the realization that these memories are over, and will never happen again. A part of you almost feels like you wasted all that time with that person, and sometimes many even think that life isn’t worth living after a heartbreak, but why not?

Why isn’t life worth living? We can’t let one person let us feel like our life isn’t worth living anymore, and that’s why sometimes a heartbreak can be good. You don’t have to regret all the memories you had with that person, instead you can view them as a learning experience. We can see them as something that helps us grow more as a person, and we can become stronger because of it. Our life was never supposed to be easy, and heartbreak will always be one of those devastating things. Heartbreaks will never feel good.

I think, in a way, some areas of our lives were meant to be hard because I believe that everything happens for a reason. If your relationship with a person had never happened would you be the person you are today? Sure it was painful, but you grew from the experience. Heartbreak shouldn’t have to be something where you almost don’t want to keep going, but a chance to find who you are. You have the chance to explore new things you’ve never explored before, take spontaneous adventures, and be comfortable with who you are. When you were in a relationship, you were always stuck with the other person, and not really getting to do what YOU truly wanted to do.

You don’t have to be tied down anymore, instead you’re able to run free and do whatever your heart desires. Find what your passions are and take them to places you never even knew existed. Be comfortable with the person YOU ARE. You don’t have to try to be someone else for the other person because you are unique and special in your own way. Having a heart broken can be a good thing so that you can break away from that person and realize what a strong and amazing person YOU have become.

We shouldn’t get so caught up in one little relationship, when there are millions of things out there waiting for us to experience. Life is about the risks we have taken and all the enjoyable times we’ve spent with the people we love. Heartbreaks can be a good thing because they can make us realize that there’s so much more to life than a simple break up. They make us realize that we shouldn't let one small heartbreak bring us down, instead we should smile a little brighter, hold our heads a little higher and enjoy the people we've become.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
