By: Tasha Uliano
- “As we drive along this road called life, occasionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going.”
It’s okay to feel lost. It is usually when we are lost that we can gain a new perspective of ourselves. However you cannot confused lost with stuck, because life doesn’t stop for anyone. You can’t get stuck thinking about what could’ve should’ve been. You have to keep moving forward, even baby steps. Any progress is good progress.
- “Maybe some women aren’t meant to be tamed. Maybe they need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with.”
Never apologize for being the person you are. Someone in the world will recognize you as greatness and join you. Until then, run wild.
- “This love stuff is a motherfucker”
Samantha Jones is right, not to mention blunt, when she said this. But are we surprised? That’s why we love Samantha! Love isn’t easy. I guess the question would be whether or not it’s worth it to you deal with it or keeping rolling without them. It’s all about the one that you simply cannot give up on. Anyone else, keep going and take it as a lesson learned.
- “When men attempt bold gestures, generally it’s considered romantic. When women do it, it’s often considered desperate or psychotic.”
Going along with every double standard ladies face with men, polar opposites. Don’t let anyone make you feel like you’re crazy for expressing how you feel. Those who don’t appreciate it in one way or another are not the type of people you need in your life.
- “Destroy all pictures where he looks sexy and you look happy.”
Pictures are a guilty pleasure of all ex-relationships because you capture the emotion of what it was. This is one of those easier said than done but makes a lot of sense, kind of things. Pictures of yourself as a part of a happy couple makes you forget why you broke up in the first place and only brings you down.
- “Being single used to mean that nobody wanted you. Now it means you’re pretty sexy and you’re taking your time deciding how you want your life to be and who you want to spend it with.”
Pep talks are always a way to be able to keep your head high, even if they are from yourself. Don’t worry if your past relationship didn’t work out, you are still young. It’s not the end of the world. There’s billions of people in the world. Don’t rush anything, things will work out for you when you least expect it to.
- “After all, computers crash, people die, relationships fall apart. The best we can do is breathe and reboot.”
You cannot avoid the inevitable, these things happen. Life is not easy, but there is always a plan B. It’s never too late to start over. Get a new computer, mourn over a death, and simply move on. It may take you months or even years but you have to do what you have to do to keep yourself sane at the end of the day. Learn to look at what you have instead of what you have lost.
- “Maybe there are no right moments, right guys, right answers.”
It’s not your fault. When dealing with breakups, you cannot get stuck thinking if you did the right thing, if you waited for the right moment, if the guy you were with is the right one. The only right answer to break ups is that there is no right answer. Don’t catch yourself overanalyzing what it was because it’s not anymore and that is what really matters. Actually just remove the word ‘if’ from your vocabulary for a while.
- “I miss you. Whenever something funny happens I always want to tell you about it.”
This is so true. When dealing with a break up, you are losing your significant other and your best friend. It’s okay to miss someone. Miranda said this and I find it to be one of the hardest parts of a break up. You have to tell yourself that person is not your best friend, because best friends don’t break your heart.
- “I felt like a fool. I had gone so far out on a limb with my feelings that I didn’t realize I was standing out there alone.”
Maybe some of our broken relationships are just like the story of Carrie and Big. Eventually they will work out. But maybe not. Don’t try too hard if the other person isn’t trying at all because you will end up standing alone and sometimes that pain is worse than the initial pain of a lost relationship.
- “There were so many questions I wanted him to answer but would not ask him. “
Sometimes asking more questions leads to more pain. Questions come with break ups, naturally. Not asking sometimes turns out to be the best thing you can do. Asking leaves more room for both sides to say hurtful things, and we want to avoid that at all costs.
