The Truth About Love That I Learned From Heartbreak
wewomen.com

Being in love with someone is contentiously one of the best things that can happen to someone. What is better than finding a person who completes you? Being in love with someone transforms you into something new but sometimes, the love we think we've found could turn out to be heartbreak.

The sad thing about loving someone is that some lovers don't always stick around. This means you sometimes become vulnerable to some of the awful things a relationship can bring along with it: crying yourself to sleep, over-thinking, asking yourself why this happens to you.

Getting your heart broken is not something that is fun. It feels like everything in your life has frozen over and you are living in a black hole. Sometimes, when you think you are finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and you think your hurt will stop, something worse happens.

The thing about heartbreak, though, is that it teaches you to fully know and appreciate the love. Nobody can fully appreciate being in love until they have fully experienced the whole roller coaster. You will also never see the true power of the love that you have for someone until you hear the two words "it's over."

Seeing someone going through the pain of being heartbroken is devastating because I know how hard it is. Nothing that you say or do can make that kind of pain go away. Something that I do know, though, is that one day it will get better. One day you will be able to see clearly that love isn't what brought you your pain. You'll see that love doesn't hurt. It was the fact of not being properly loved and cared for that broke you.

What we need to learn about love, is that it is one of the greatest feelings to have. You have to learn that it's ok to leave something that doesn't give you the proper love that you deserve. You are the writer of your life and you have to focus on what's best for YOU. I've learned that to know love, you sometimes have to know heartbreak. Just know that in the end, I promise that you'll come out of that storm a stronger and happier person. You'll realize that the person who let you go was someone that you wanted, not the person that you truly needed. This isn't the end, it's the beginning of a new and better you.

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.
