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 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 ...

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, ...
