the grieving process


 Nothing will ever hurt more than the pain you feel when you wake up one day and the person you love is no longer in your life. There was no sudden warning, no explanation as to why they were leaving; they just left. They left you feeling broken inside like someone had sucked all of the life out of you until you were completely empty. The tears you have cried have only gotten more powerful, and the tears just won't stop streaming down your face. You made plans, and now you have to suddenly halt everything because this relationship is no more. Sure, you are going to be sad for many days, but eventually, it will get better. You can only hope and pray that someone better will come along, but that does not always happen the way you want it to. You tell yourself that you only wanted to be with this one person, no one else. 

I know we have all experienced heartbreak before, many of us in different ways, but we have to remember that we are all in this together. We are all hurting because of different reasons, but we are all feeling the same, aching pain that burns our hearts so badly that we just want to give up completely on everything. We have all felt the keen sting that someone who once loved us no longer does. It is not easy to go through. You gave them everything you had, and they go around and stab you in the back, leaving you with all of the burdens you gave to them. People do suck, and sometimes they do not even realize how badly they hurt you. 

Just remember this while you are in this time of grief: the tears are eventually going to end, but do not be afraid to cry and let it all out. Crying is the best form of emotional release, and it is only going to make you feel better inside. You are not going to heal in a day or two, or maybe not even a week. You will heal when you learn that you are the only person who is going to be there for you through thick and thin, and there is no one else who can go through the same trauma you have gone through. So while you lay on your bed crying your sadness away, just remember that you are loved, even in this time of grief and sadness. Your heart may be broken now, but the person who is meant to put it back together is one heartbreak closer than you think.

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 ...

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.

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, ...
