Happily ever after begins with YOU!


 There comes a moment in life when everything seems like it is falling apart. Nothing is going right, and tears just keep streaming down your face. No matter how hard you try to stop it, they just keep flowing down your face, splashing on the floor. Mascara streams down your face as if there is nothing else you can do to stop it. Heartbreak is truly the most painful experience we have in life. There is nothing more devastating than the utter pain of your fragile heart breaking into a million little pieces. 

Heartbreak is the worst and unimaginable reality that we all have to endure at some point in our lives. Sometimes it is having a loved one pass away. Other times, it's when you picture a life with someone you love, but then that breaks apart, and you have to move on and find someone else to share that love with. There is a great pain that you feel deep within because everything you ever thought has changed, forever. Somedays, it is hard to wake up and go about your day because you feel as though you wasted several years of your life thinking this person was the right one. Other days, you just have to look at yourself in the mirror and remind yourself of how worthy you truly are. It is a hard reality to accept, but sometimes we have to go through this so we can learn and grow, to better our own selves, and find our inner strength to keep going in life. You cannot grow without facing these obstacles, and you have to accept it. 

...

 Healing takes time. Somedays, it is so extremely hard to wake up and get out of bed. Something is wrong, you know it, you feel it, but you cannot explain it in words. As far as we know, everything is fine, but it is not. Your face is a mask. On the outside, you stand there with a radiant smile. On the inside, you are screaming and falling apart. You feel as though no one understands the pain you are experiencing, so you let it go and keep it all to yourself. One day, you will find someone who takes away all of this pain, and they are going to give you a better reality than you ever thought was possible. It does not matter who, because your future partner will love you so unconditionally that you will forget about this pain you feel right now. At the end of the day, your real friends show you what it is like to be the best version of yourself that you can possibly be before the right person does come along. Do not dwell on the "what-ifs" or "the ones" because, at the end of the day, the only person that matters in your life is yourself. You can live happily ever after with yourself, and you can and will get through it, just do not lose sight in yourself.

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...
