Breakups hurt like a motherf*#ker, but they are not the end of the world. The pain is temporary, and if handled properly, they can even be life-changing.

A friend of mine told a story about a date with a guy she was really excited about: He stood her up. He then called her, begging her forgiveness and giving some excuse. She told him to get lost, telling him that he only gets one shot with her, and he blew it.

...you are defined by how you live your life, not whom you live it with, and certainly not by what you gave up to be with that person.

Personally, when I'm picking friends, I like the ones who don't make me cry myself to sleep.

She didn't love me that much, but she moved in with me. That's a plus. And then one night, I caught her making out with another dude on the driveway. That's a minus.

Trust yourself, because as Oprah says, doubt means don't every time

Why should you feel honored for getting scraps of his time?
