Things to Know While You Are Dealing With a Heartbreak
My Own Picture

To the girls/boys who are going through heartbreak

You’re beautiful and I am sorry a boy/girl broke your heart, but they are missing out on the jackpot. But I wanted to tell you a few things that you must remember when dealing with a heartbreak:

  • Allow yourself to grieve. People say it’s not the same as the death as a loved one, but everyone’s pain is different, a part of you died when your S/O left, and that’s okay. There is no set amount of time allowed for grieving. May it be a month, 2 months, etc. Grieve as long as you feel like you need too.
  • But you also must know that with grieving comes healing, to heal you must first grieve the relationship. But you also gotta know that it gets better, it always does.
  • You are a work of art, you’re a delicacy, you are a masterpiece and everything that happens in your life is just another stroke of the brush in creating the final project. Don’t fight it, let yourself be painted. To do that you must allow yourself to feel.
  • Do NOT ever be ashamed of feeling. You are allowed to feel, don’t let any guy or girl shame you for feeling upset after a break up.
  • Do NOT be afraid of reaching out for help if it gets too bad, there are many people who love you and are willing to help you through with things. You. Are. Not. Alone. Remember that.
  • You are beautiful and you deserve the world, and if your S/O left or didn’t give you the world then you should know that there is someone out there who is waiting to give you the universe.
  • DO NOT ever give up on love altogether! You will learn to fall in love again. Humans were created to fall in love and get hurt. It is just part of life, but you can’t let one heartbreak ruin you.

Please remember that you are never alone. There are resources out there willing to help you through a heartbreak.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
