To The Girl Going Through Her First Heart Break

Ever since we were young girls the idea of true love has always been cast upon us, that's the happy ending to the story. We want to find a man,settle down,start a family and live our own version of happily ever after. The one thing that our families didn't tell us is that you have to go through so many people and so much heart break before you find the one you're going to spend the rest of your life with. Life is not a fairy tale and there is no knight in shining armor that is going to slay a dragon and come to your rescue.

We live in a cruel world where some of us love more than we are ever going to be loved but I promise you that it gets better over time and you will learn from this experience. So maybe you thought he was the one then he left and is now running off with another girl while you're lying in a blanket burrito binge watching Grey's Anatomy and stuffing your face with a pint of Ben and Jerry's Chocolate Therapy. It was not your fault that boy didn't stay just know it's for the better, no one has the answers to the questions you have, we just all know that we have been there before and that it gets better. It's not your fault that it's over, there was nothing you could have changed or done differently to make him stay. They come and they go and they will continue to come and go your entire life until that one person comes along and sweeps you off your feet and carries you towards the happily ever after that everyone deserves. 

Get up, get out of bed, drag yourself to the shower, get ready, and go out! Go get your hair done get your nails done, maybe you just need a good wax or trim, just treat yourself. Find something new to invest your time in, read that book that has been sitting on your bookshelf for the past 3 years that you keep telling yourself you'll get to eventually. Go on vacation and fall back in love with yourself, get a new job, go back to school. Find the you that you were before you met that guy who broke your heart. Don't let this cruel world dull your sparkle, be the you that everyone knows and loves because there is someone out there right now going through the same pain and wondering where the girl from his fairy tale is, and here she is reading this article. Get on your feet and get moving the real man of your dreams is out there waiting for. Never turn down an opportunity down you never know who you'll meet or what you'll discover about yourself. I promise you that it gets better than this.
