The Bright Side To Getting Your Heart Broken

Why I am okay with getting my heart broken.

The Bright Side To Getting Your Heart Broken

Admit it, we've all done it...we've had that boy (or girl) that was head over heels for us but we were just not feeling it. We have also fallen in love with someone who didn't love us back, it's a vicious cycle that keeps going.

But it is OK!

I am not mad about my heart being broken, just like I have no regrets about breaking someone else's heart. Sure at the time it was not a good feeling, but I learned from my heart breaks...and I hope those hearts that I've broken have learned from me also. I'm giving them a chance to venture out and find out what they like in someone and find that someone who can reciprocate their feelings. I know they would not be happy with me because I was just not as into it as they were.

I am a strong believer in the saying"everything happens for a reason", getting my heart broken is just clearing the path for the one that will not break my heart; just like breaking hearts is allowing that person to find someone who will not break theirs and me finding someone who loves me and I can return those feelings of love to.

Sure breakups suck, it will take a while to heal and move on...it will be okay. Looking back at all of the times I have been broken, I actually thank those people for teaching me lessons and molding me into the woman I am now. I am also sure that the hearts that I have broken have (or eventually will) thank me for what I did, we show each other what we want and do not want for our future.

It is okay to break hearts, you cannot be expected to stay around someone who does not make you happy and they should not expect you to stay either. There is no point in being in a relationship where everything is one sided or fights are constant.

Dear boys I've spent time crying over, thank you for breaking my heart.

Dear boys whose hearts I've broken, if you haven't thanked me yet...you will. Down the road when you are surrounded by your beautiful family, you will thank me.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
