Four Ways to Cope With Heart Break
Listen, I' am not going to sit here and give you some sugar coated crap, that getting over heartbreak is easy, and that there's a ten-step list you have to follow to make your problems disappear. There's no magic potion you can drink to get rid of it (although there are certain methods that may numb or dull the pain), there's just no physical one-cures-all for this affliction.

My Live Life to the Fullest List
I assume a good many of us have things we want to do before we die, right? For some, it might be something as wild as plummeting off a plane from thousands of feet; for others, it might be something as simple as trying a new or interesting food. We all have things we want to do before we kick the bucket, no matter how extreme or moderate they are. Hence, the phrase "bucket list." I have such a list, except my list really hasn't much to do with kicking the bucket. Instead, my list (yes, I have a physical list) involves taking life by the horns in the moment, and appreciating life in the now. It's not merely about doing as many exciting things as I can before I die, rather, it's about doing things that I believe is involved in living a fulfilled life, hence the name: "Live Life to the Fullest List." But I didn't come up with the inspiration for this list on my own. Actually, I got it from a TV show I came across two years ago called No Tomorrow.

Walls and Numb Emotions
I think there are many times in life when one just becomes numb to the attack of pain and struggle, and as a result, numb to ones own feelings, no matter how good or how bad. Right now, that is 100 percent how I feel. I feel like I have been through so much heart-ache this year that I just put these walls up and no one is allowed in... Okay, people are allowed in. But it's a good few. It's just so frustrating because the people who were once close to me I think I've pushed away... And I don't like that one bit. I HATE IT!

Failing My Own Standards
Does anyone know what it's like to set such high expectations for yourself and then fail? It's a such a frustrating thing to deal with. I've realized what becomes of me when I let myself fall into the trap of sulking in my own disappointment, especially for myself. First, I try to do better by taking on way, way too much, then I get frustrated with people around me who aren't performing the way I want them to, and when I feel misunderstood, I just dig a hole for myself and sit there.

The Healer and the Anti-Hero
I knew you were an anti-hero from the start. Neither a villain, or a hero. I suppose the good thing about is you don't pretend to be someone you're not. You fully know you're not the bad guy, but you're also not the good guy either. You carry a sense of morals with just a dash of bad-assery. You have a moral compass but you only follow it when it suits you. I knew all these things about you, but yet I somehow ended up talking to you anyway. Knowing it meant trouble. Knowing it meant that you would only care when it was convenient. Knowing that you're damaged goods.

The Princess Who Saved Herself
She was a human being born with an extraordinary gift that she didn't know how to use. The King and Queen seemed to be the only people who understood how to tame it, so for her own safety, locked her in a tower, from a young age. From the minute she was born, no one seemed to understand her potential for destruction but her parents. She was born with a deep magic that could divide and conquer kingdoms, at her command.

Laying Down the Line in Relationships
I don’t really know how to write this post. I mean, there’s probably a million angles I could take with this, but honestly I’m not sure where to start. Honestly, that’s because I’m still learning how to set boundaries in my life. But what I am sure of is that I know that I have an inconceivable amount of worth, and because of that, I can set the standard for how I let people treat me. Because I know that I have value, on this planet and in the Kingdom of God, I don’t have to let people treat me however they want.
