You will be alright.

A Letter To The Girl Who Gets Attached Too Quickly
findingmyverse

When it comes to falling in love with someone, or what we think is love, we cling onto the other person like an anchor. They become a part of us and we yearn to know them and be with them. No matter how hard our hearts will break when everything falls out, we still hang on. We still have hope that maybe it will all work itself out. However, we don’t realize that the pain we feel isn’t from just getting your heart broken, but also from hanging onto that thread of hope, wishing they would take you back.

There are four groups of people that can break your heart... There’s the world and society, boys, friends, and even family members. It’s what you do after the heartbreak that matters. Of course there are the three things you have to do; let go, move on, and forgive. But it will not be easy. It all starts with letting go of that thread of hope that you are clinging to and trying not to play the "what if" moments in your head. Then it's moving on past the good and bad times with the boy who could make your heart melt in a matter of seconds. Lastly, it's about forgiving the boy who broke your heart.

But one thing is certain, you will be alright. You don’t need a boy to complete you. But don’t let your heart break change you completely. Don’t let it make you bitter towards other people trying to love you. Don't let your heartbreak destroy you and don’t let it destroy your relationship with God. He is the one that will be there when your heart breaks. He is the one who will be there when you feel like no one else cares about your world falling apart. He’s the one that will be there, with arms wide open and waiting for you to come home.

"Out of suffering and darkness emerge the strongest souls." -Carly Lynn

Everything that happens in your life is a blessing or a lesson from God. Be strong. Emerge from the darkness of having your heart broken and let it be a lesson to others and to yourself. You dictate your own happiness, so what are you going to do to be happy again? Now that is up to you.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
