How To Know It's Time To Get Over It

One of the worst feelings is seeing a friend going through heartbreak or going through heartbreak yourself. It is upsetting because you know that no matter what you say your friend probably won't take your advice.

Some times the reasons we don't move on are because we still have hope for a positive outcome in the future, we aren't ready, or we plain and simply refuse.

If you feel like you are stuck in a situation where you keep going back to a person or thing and just can not figure out how to move on here are five reasons on why you should.

1. The situation you are in is hurting you, leaving you with sleepless nights and tears.


We have all had those days where we couldn't sleep because something was too upsetting, and if you are at that point with someone you should move on. Staying in that situation is only going to continue to make you upset and feel hopeless.

2. The person is only there when it is convenient for them.

If the only time they answer your texts or phone calls is when they want something from you, they're no good for you.

3. They invite you to social events and parties but they spend the whole time talking to someone else.


For those who are in college, you know if someone invites you to something typically you spend the majority of the time with them, not hanging out as far away from them as possible!

4. They say we should stop talking but call you a day later saying they miss you.

Don't listen to someone who goes back and forth on their word all the time, you can't trust them.

5. They already moved on.

Wave goodbye because if someone already seems like they moved on, it is probably best if you move on too. Everyone deserves to be happy in the long run.

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.
