An Open Letter To Every Broken Heart
Personal Image

To all the girls going through heartbreak-- I promise you that there will be a day where you are sitting in your bed at three in the morning and laugh about how sad you once were.

You will look at old pictures and videos and not feel a single ounce of sadness. You will smile at the fond memories you had made, but you will not yearn to make more like you once had.

I found myself scrolling through my notes on my iPhone the other day, out of pure boredom. I found one, from this past summer that read:

"There is a love of your life and a love for your life. The love of your life will be your weak point for a long time, but it won't work-- while the love for your life is the one that works in a complete way. There's one that is right, and one that you want to be right."

Relationships are a good way for us to grow into who we are as a person. Whether it be romantic or not, every person we form a bond with has an impact on our character in some way or another. When we think we are in love with someone, we can be blinded to the damage we are doing to ourselves in the name of a relationship that was nothing more than a life lesson.

But it's hard to realize that. It takes time. It involves pain and suffering, and many mascara stained pillow cases. We crave the love we see in magazines and movies. We strive to have a loving relationship like the ones written about in great novels, but we find ourselves holding on to those who are not fit for our story.

You will find someone who makes you smile from ear to ear when you think about them. You will find the person who's laugh makes you want to jump up and down on your bed in joy. You will find someone who's touch and scent consume you and make you feel at home and safe. Most importantly, you will feel this way not only in the first two months of your relationship but the longevity of it. You will find someone who is willing to give their all just to see you crack a smile. You will find someone who will stand on rooftops and shout their love for you.

You will find someone who makes you forget about all of the nights you spent crying over boys who did not know your worth. That person will fix all of the bruises and tears in your heart. You will look back, and be thankful that every other person you had been with until that point had led you to this feeling of pure bliss. You may not realize it now, but it is coming soon. You are strong, you are not alone, and there is a light at the end of this tunnel. I promise you.

Whether you believe astrology is a legitimate "science" or not, we have all found ourselves looking at our horoscopes from time to time. The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
