An Open Letter To Someone Going Through A Breakup

Breakups are so overwhelming and hard sometimes, but never let it become stronger than you are.

Dear blank,

Breakups are hard, trust me I know. You sit in your bed wondering, "What could I have done differently?" Or "why wasn't I enough for said person?" Let's face it, as much as you loved that person, it just wasn't meant to be. Or if it is meant to be, then you guys will find each other again and live happily every after. There are a million things that both of you could have done differently in the relationship; however, it went the way it did for a reason. All the mistakes that led to the end of the relationship saved you from ending up with the wrong person. Don't reminisce about the relationship or kick yourself for all the dumb fights, but take this as the time to find out who you are.

People change either a little or a lot after a relationship, so don't worry about the "what ifs," but enjoy the exploration of the new you. Who knows what will happen next? This could lead you to the love of your life. As for the second question, you are always enough because you're absolutely amazing and incredibly strong even if you don't know it yet. Never think that you weren't enough for someone—unfortunately, the breakup just goes back to y'all not being right for each other. Think about it this way, there is someone out there right now looking for you, and you will be perfect for said person. I didn't say the relationship will be perfect, but you will be more than enough for that person. I wish I could say that it gets easier quickly, but it doesn't. I wish I could say that you'll find the love of your life right after, but I can't because no one knows when you'll meet them.

This breakup is preparing you for meeting the one. Think about the guy or girl who broke up with you and think about all the things you didn't like about them then think about all the things you did. Make a list from that of what you want your future spouse to be like. Continue to learn about yourself, so you'll be confident and secure for when you meet your future spouse. This is the time to prepare and go through the motions before settling down. It always takes a few tries for everything before you get it right, so these breakups are your trial and errors coming to an end and leading you into a happier future.

I want you to know that you always have someone to talk to when the breakup gets overwhelming. I want you to know that you're special and that there is someone out there who will love you with every bone in their body because that's exactly what you deserve. Never let someone take you for granted. Do what you have to do to feel OK again and never feel scared to reach out to someone. Forget your ex, go out and have fun, and just live life to the fullest because you will never get these days back.

Sincerely,

A girl going through a breakup and feeling good again

P.S. Do not text or reply to your ex!.

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.
