Soulmate Gone Wrong
Here's a story about a guy I thought was my soulmate. It all starts off when I was about 14 or 15-years-old. My cousin came over for the weekend and there was a mall close to my house, so we decided to go there one day. I've been to that mall many times before and always recognized this one really cute guy. That day was different, though. He wasn't just a guy I dreamed of liking me. He was the guy who liked me.

Your Boss Doesn't Care!
OK so I just saw an article called "Six Things Your Boss Wants to Know About You." Yeah OK that's great, well here's what your boss doesn't care about. Your boss doesn't want to hear a long rant about your life. Now ask yourself why—because he has better things to do with his time than listen to how your child colored on the wall yesterday. Your boss is a busy person, don't waste his/her time going on rants or giving long stories. I'm quite sure your boss would appreciate a shortened version of whatever you're about to say.

How Much Is Too Much in a Relationship?
When starting a relationship there can be many questions a girl asks herself. One of the many questions is: how much is too much? Now this question can go for many things, like how much time together is too much time together, or even how much should I spend on him for gifts? First off, I am going to go off of experience. When spending time together in a new relationship it all depends on how fast you're moving and how much you love to be around each other.

What to Do After a Breakup
Most likely, you are reading this because you're going through a breakup or still can't get over an ex. Whether you've been through a breakup or not, this will help you get over any man. First off, if you're sad, most likely he broke up with you, but don't worry you're going to be ok. The first step of getting over a breakup is deleting his number and deleting him on all of your social media accounts, don't continue following him on social media after a breakup. The reason you don't want to do this is because you're going to see all his stuff, whether it's him getting a new girlfriend or just hanging out with friends. Let's all be honest here, the hardest part of a breakup is seeing the person, especially if it is face to face. For example, to get over the guy you can't watch his Snapchat stories anymore, you're only going to make yourself more upset. Next step is deleting all the pictures, this might be the hardest part because you see all the happy memories. Doing all of this is like pulling off a band-aid, painful but fast. Also, delete all those pictures because, yes, they were happy memories but you're going to be able to make new ones. I should've put this as the first and last step but it can be applied anywhere. After breaking up you need to go out with your girls. I don't care how many of your friends you go out with and I don't care where you go, just go. This is going to be the most freeing and healing part. Your girls are always going to support you, go out, have fun, get dressed up, and go crazy. Also, don't sit around at home because all you're going to do is think about him, thinking about him at all is going to be the worst thing to do. Also, be there for your girls when they go through breakups! Be the friend who gets them to let go and flirt with a guy, or be an even better friend and hook them up with a nicer guy! Breaking up is hard but it's not as hard when your around people who are fun and support you. These girls love you a lot and most likely if they are your true friends they are going to be right there with you bashing him. Also, be with your girls when you delete his number because right when you get sad they are going to be right there hugging you. Also, if you're 21 and over, I recommend going out to a bar, not a trashy bar though. Trashy bars are where you meet guys who only want to hookup and honestly, hooking up with a guy when your sad only makes you sadder. Getting under someone new to get over someone is not a thing don't do or try it. Go to a nice bar and sit down you never know who you will meet. Also, since I just experienced this last night I can give you another place to not meet a guy. Don't meet a guy at a carnival, don't even think you're going to meet a guy at a carnival. Almost all the guys there are going to be dads who are either with their kids or families. I guess you could say in conclusion, always have your girls with you after a breakup, delete his number and social media, delete the pictures, and delete him from your life! Go and live your life because girl, you deserve to be happy whether that's with or without him! I hope you find someone to make you even happier than he made you because you deserve that and trust me you will get over this! As always, make sure you love yourself!

Second Love Gone Wrong
Since my last breakup post was popular, I will do another. This breakup story is going to be about my second boyfriend. I'm skipping my first boyfriend because not too much happened. My second boyfriend and I were extremely close. I would like to think he was most likely my first love. The only downfall about the relationship was that him and I lived an hour apart. I was only 15 when we started dating, so I wasn't able to drive yet. When we started dating, he was 17, so he was able to drive and that's how it all worked out. We dated for almost two years before I ended the relationship.

My True Love
Ok yeah so this is going to be about the love of my life. No it's not a man or a woman. It's about my cat. My cat is 13 years old I've had her since I can remember. She's been there for me through so much. She's seen me cry, she's seen me laugh. She's my bestfriend and my greatest love. I treat her like my baby and she acts like one. Her personality is crazy she's exactly like a person. She sits up like a little person on the couch. She stares at you like every girl wants their boyfriend to stare at them. She always makes me laugh with the weird faces or things she's doing. I show her off like every girl wants to be shown off. This cat isn't just a cat to me, she's my entire world. I am laying in bed right now and a couple minutes ago she was pushing my bedroom door open to come in. I opened the door for her climbed back in bed, next thing you know she's standing by my bedside looking up at me. Of course I got out of bed picked her chubby butt up and put her in bed with me. Now we are laying in bed together, looks like I might have a sleeping partner tonight. She purrs so loud you can hear it from probably two rooms over. Unfortunately I have class in the morning and don't want to really sleep with her although I love her. I'm definitely not gonna let her get too comfy only for the fact that I'm going to have to kick her out soon. I look at her and get upset at the thought of her getting older and what I'm ever going to do without her. I wish she was still younger. I also told her to reincarnate herself as another kitten so I could find her again. She just sits there and looks at me probably thinking I'm a nut. She's about the last thing left from my childhood and I think that's why it hurts the most. Also I've thought about when she passes hopefully not anytime soon but far in the future. I've thought about maybe getting her stuffed but everyone seems weirded out by that so maybe I'll just have her cremated and put it into a necklace or something like that. Maybe three necklaces because I frequently loose important jewelry. Anyway I'm sure everyone can relate to this in the sense that the majority of us have had childhood pets that have followed us into adulthood. I'm also sure many people can relate to the loss of a beloved pet and how it hurts. I've done so much googling on how long cats live and it's crazy because I'm really trying to estimate and prepare myself for the time. I'm going to have to get another cat right after she passes. Hopefully she reincarnated herself like I told her. Most likely I will get a kitten so I have something to continue to grow with also the kitten won't be that old when I decide to have kids so the kitten can even grow with my kids. I like dogs but they are just so much work and I feel like cats just get into your feelings more. Hopefully I still have a good five years left. If any of you recently lost a pet I'm sorry for your loose and I hope you can heal from this. Time to kick my love off and get to sleep.

The One I Lost
This one's about the love I lost. We all have dated that one person that we instantly think is our person and we fall head over heels for them. Well I found mine then lost it. I met this guy when I least expected it, I also never thought it would happen. Now that I realise it, it was that summer romance. One night my friend said to me, "Hey you do you want to come with me, I'm going to pick up my friend?" I thought why not because, well, I had nothing better to do. We drove for about 40 minutes, we stopped to get food for him because it was his birthday coming up. When we got there, my friend parked the car and we waited; it was night time and incredibly dark. I sat in the passenger seat my friend sat in the driver seat. She started texting him back and forth saying we were there. He was hanging out with his friends smoking a cigarette.

People Are Flowers
Aren't flowers beautiful? Flowers are always beautiful even though they are all different. Every flower is unique in its own way yet they are all the same. They all have the same life cycle, they start out as a seed then grow and grow until they eventually die.

Advice I Wish I Had
The other day I was scrolling through Facebook just passing time. I came across a post from a girl that I don't really know and never have really talked to. She was saying how she was upset and felt worthless. Even though I've never talked to her before, I wanted to message her and make sure she was OK. When she finally responded, she said that her boyfriend had recently broken up with her. Now, we have all been through a breakup before. This was the one that hurt. She told me how she felt worthless and that she was never going to find anyone and why go on with life. I gave her advice. At first, it was the advice I've always been given; the "oh, you're not going to be alone forever" advice—then I realised it's all fake. I told her my advice, the advice I wish I would've been given. I told her I understood what she was going through. I know that kind of relationship because I had it. It was that relationship where you love him so much that it hurts, but it hurts even more when you can't love him anymore. I told her how I cried myself to sleep for months, how I thought it was all pointless, how living life without him would be pointless.

Love Yourself
I wasn't sure about creating this but I know other girls struggle too. I've struggled with my weight most of my life, I've always been the little pudgy kid. I've always had some sort of insecurity about my body and how I look. It's like you don't get bullied but you know people talk behind your back. Frankly, I'd rather have someone call me fat to my face than see them stare. On my bad days, I even tell my closest friends, "I'm fat," and of course they always respond with something like, "no you're not!"
