Broken hearts are inevitable, but that doesn't make them any more bearable. Whether the breakup was mutual or one-sided, losing someone that you thought was special hurts. It just sucks. Personally, I've had one monumental breakup and the heartbreak altered me (for the better, but still, I've changed).

Therefore, surrounding yourself with friends is essential during this tumultuous time as they provide support, love, and give the best of the best mom-advice.

You are beautiful

Genuine compliments go a long way. Sometimes you need to hear it from others before you begin to believe and say it yourself.

It wasn't meant to be

There's a reason you weren't meant to be together and there's no way around it except acceptance.

I have pizza and ice cream and chocolate!

Snacks are always the answer.

Surround yourself with positives

There's nothing wrong with feeling lonely and moping around from time to time, but, in general, make sure to experience good vibes and positive juju by encircling yourself with happy people and joyful opportunities.

There's someone else out there for you

It's hard to hear, especially when you cared for one specific individual, but, one day, you will find your person.

We need some Adele

Grab a glass of wine, snuggle on the couch, and prepare for the emotions to flow.

Let's find some puppies

Puppies! Tons of puppies! There is no way you can be wholly sad when you have puppies jumping all over you. Pet therapy is a true and tested method that is bound to help you crack a smile.

Let's point out everything that was wrong with your ex

Until you finally realize that they're not worth all this angst.

Rant on and on and on

Just continue into a tirade about them or life or whatever you need. Letting it all out helps and being angry is okay.

Focus on loving yourself before depending on others for love

Being content with your own independence can be a struggle, but it's worth it in the end.

Distract distract distract

Stay busy! Do all the things you never had time to do and fully immerse yourself in them.

Blessing in disguise

In some ways your life will change, but you don't have to be afraid, it only gets better from here.

Take this time to be selfish

Prioritize yourself: do what's best for you! If you have to block your ex to move on, by all means, go for it! Delete everything. I mean everything: from pictures and videos to anything on social media.

You deserve all the love in the world and to be treated right

There is someone out there who will treat you the way you deserve to be taken care of, and you will find one another.

Every emotion was and is valid

Every emotion you feel now and every and any feeling you felt during your relationship is and was true. It may not have ended well, but that doesn't mean you didn't have happy moments. No one is denying that.

Stand tall, but cry if you need to

You have everything you need to be confident, but there's nothing wrong with letting your feelings out and having a healthy crying session. Even if the breakup was for the best, it's okay to take your needed time to grieve.

Let’s take a trip!

Get out of your surroundings and have fun with your best friends!

Time to snuggle and watch funny videos

Laughing is the best medicine, so grab a blanket, get comfortable, and watch a comedy or some hilarious YouTube videos.

Dance and sing it out

As Taylor Swift would say, "Shake It Off!" and release those happy hormones.

Post breakup glow-ups are real

Focus on developing yourself as an individual and, trust me, it will all come together.

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.
