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.

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?...
