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.

The Harsh Reality of Planning Your Wedding Without Your Mom

When the countdown nears 0 days, the butterflies begin to dance around your stomach, your cheeks become sore from smiling so much, and there's a sense of peace that drops over you because you're finally marrying the love of your life.  This is the best time of your life, and you could not be more overjoyed.  Suddenly, sadness starts to hit you like a tidal wave that came without warning. The tears start flowing and cannot stop. You can't breathe, and everything else starts to feel heavy. There's an empty void that cannot be filled, and your chest begins to break in two.  This was the best time of your life, but now it's all starting to hit you in a million pieces.  The one person who should be here- your rock, your stability in an uneasy balance, the glue that has held you together- is not here. Your mom.  ... It's no secret that I have been through more obstacles than I'd like to admit. Several of these obstacles occurred when I least expected them, like a ...

The Life of a Showgirl: When Taylor Swift Lets the Spotlight Dim

While it’s no surprise that we’re big Taylor Swift fans in this household, something about this newest album release felt different. On the eve of the drop, anticipation ran high. Some of us drifted off to sleep with visions of glitter, feathers, and showgirls twirling in our minds. Others fueled up on caffeine, determined to stay awake until the clock struck twelve. And when it did—on October 3—we were ready for it. But this time, I chose sleep. The next morning, headphones in hand, I pressed play as soon as I woke up—and almost immediately, I felt something shift. Taylor’s music has always been deeply relatable—that’s never been in question. The Life of a Showgirl follows the forever-endearing The Tortured Poets Department, an album I adored with every ounce of my being. That record proved what so many of us already knew: Taylor is a poet at large. Naturally, expectations for this new album were sky-high. The Life of a Showgirl promised to peel back the curtain—to reveal life beyond ...

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...
