How I Learned To Recover From My Break-Up
Radio Glasdrine

Break-ups suck most of the time. I was hurt and devastated for a longtime and realized that just because he left doesn't mean he wont come back, doesn't mean we cant just be friends (which most of the time never works out) and it most importantly doesn't mean its the end of the world.

I thought I had it all figured out, I thought that since we were together for a very long time that we would be together forever. Never think that. Ever. People change over time whether we like it or not. Just in my case changing wasn't the only thing wrong with the relationship and how it came to an end, it was him and I both realizing that we just wouldn't work out. It was a real heartbreak realizing that you wouldn't be able to talk and see the same person like you did when you were together.

I began to slack around and not be as active as i once was. I started to think that I would never recover and little did I know I was thinking and acting different. I never thought a break-up would change me.

I realized that I needed to get out more, do stuff i've never done. I started going on runs, making straight A's (I made A's and B's before this) seeing and meeting my friends and new friends, I went out to dinner with family. I honestly have never felt more free or alive than i do now. I've decided that they single life is the way of life. Now life has it's up and downs but that doesn't mean you wont have good things come out of it.

Heart-to-heart I would say, it's gonna be hard the first few months and you're going to want to talk to them and you're going to miss them, but whatever you don't call. I saw this quote and it says, "Just give him three days. Wait three days, no texts, no calls, no nothing. Then see if he comes back" "What if I can't wait three days though??" "You see the thing is, you keep running back to him and gets off on it. He knows he's gonna have you coming back to him. Why not give him three days and realize, oh shoot it's serious, I'm really losing her!" "What if he doesn't even come back?" "Then why would you wanna be with someone that doesn't want you? Why would you wanna be with someone that like that?"

Now some of you might think thats not true but I did wait three days, he never came back and I think after that I realized he probably was never going to come back and he never did. It hurts, trust me it hurts so bad. So I hope to make another article soon that will be a letter, so keep close!

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.
