Adapting to life after a relationship

When you are in love with someone, there are many different phases that you will encounter along the way. At first, it is innocent puppy love. The relationship is brand new, just coming out of the package. You treat it with care because it is so delicate. As time moves on, you begin to grow emotionally and physically with one another. You begin to feel such strong connections, and you fall in love. There are some points in which you begin to encounter disagreements and you argue a lot, but that does not make you fall out of love any less. No matter how many disagreements you will have, the love you share only grows stronger. Suddenly, many months have passed from the start of your relationship to where you are now. You both have changed, and you both are growing continuously. The intimacy becomes stronger and stronger. You both adapt well into your families, and you now begin to develop a clear insight into what you want in your future. You are so in love, but eventually, things begin to change.  

There is nothing more valuable than the love you share with one another, but sometimes relationships do end. No matter how long you have been with someone, sometimes relationships do meet the end of the road. It is never easy to break off something that was once so familiar and so pure. Break-ups are tragic, and everyone will have to encounter them at some time. The pain you endure is sometimes as sharp as a knife stabbing every inch of your skin. The pain will slowly enter your body, and you will feel as if the whole world is crashing inside you. You may begin to feel worthless- as if you wasted what seems to be like a lifetime with this person, only to have it taken away from you. You were madly in love with this person for so long, and now it is just over. You can cry, you can weep, and you can go over what happened in your head, but eventually, you will get your spark back, and you will be okay.

Learning to love yourself first and foremost is the key to finding happily ever after. No matter how many break-ups you encounter, the relationship you have with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship you will share in. So, if you have just gotten out of a relationship, you must remember that you are going to be okay. You may not feel like it now, and you may not feel like it tomorrow, but at some point, you are going to be okay.

Wicked Part One: A Film That Leaves You Changed "For Good"

 I was 17, on a flight to the Bahamas for a family vacation, when I first listened to the Wicked Broadway soundtrack. Staring out the window at the endless clouds, I felt like I was soaring right alongside Elphaba as she defied gravity. That music stayed with me, becoming a soundtrack to a summer I’ll never forget. Years later, sitting in the audience at Playhouse Square, I watched the story come to life on stage, and it changed me “for good.” So, when the movie finally came out, I walked into the theater with high hopes—and let me tell you, I was utterly blown away. Wicked: Part 1 was released in November 2024, directed by Jon M. Chu, starring Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba. It’s a fantasy musical adaptation of the Broadway hit and novel by Gregory Maguire. It starts with celebrating the Wicked Witch of the West’s downfall after melting and perishing to her doom. Although all seems fine and celebratory in the Land of Oz, we later learn that the Wicked Witch, ...

Bride Survival Guide: The Truth About Being a Bride

Congratulations! You're engaged!  Now is supposed to be the happiest time of your life. You get to marry the man or woman you love, plan a giant party (or a small one, if you prefer) with all your close friends and family, and wear the most beautiful gown. If any of these things make you anxious, you are not alone. Many brides feel overwhelmed during their "Engaged Era," and many don't get the support they need when feeling this way.  While this is an exhilarating time, your nerves and anxieties are valid. The second you get that ring on your finger, your personal life and boundaries go right out the door, and everyone wants to know every detail, even some that you haven't even planned out or thought about yet! When is the date? Where did you get your dress? What does it look like? But here's the thing: no one asks how you are doing.  Here is my hot take: society has made weddings so impractical and unreasonable that any bride-to-be feels overwhelmed. Everythi...

Rifts and Rays: Restoring Kindness in a Fractured World

 In a world where things are often dark and negativity creeps around every corner, there is always a rift in the clouds for the sun to appear. Today, we are experiencing more cloudy days than sunny. People no longer respect boundaries or treat others with respect because they do not see eye to eye with other individuals. This is creating a rift in our world.  When did people stop caring about treating others the way we want to be treated? When did people think that it is okay to put others down because they are different from us? When was this ever okay to accept in our society? The answer is never. We, as humans, act upon how we observe others. When we see other individuals we love tearing someone else down, we do the same. The pattern continues until later down the line someone wakes up and stops it, breaking the cycle and starting a new pattern from scratch. We all have different religious affiliations and beliefs, but when did any of that mean disrespecting your neighbor?...
