Let’s be real. If you are reading this on Valentine’s Day, you’re single. So, I hope this article is
reaching the target audience it’s supposed to reach.
TO BE HONEST, I am currently going through a breakup. The girl in my school club, my
roommate, and her friends are all in the same boat. For the past weekend, I’ve been
binge-watching Sex in the City, so if you’re really going through it lately, here are 4 quotes that I
found in the show that help lift my spirits.
“The most exciting, challenging, and significant relationship of all is the one you have
with yourself.”
Self-love is an intangible experience of getting into a state of mind where you are focusing on
yourself. After a while, if the love you give doesn’t work out and you’re starting to give that love
back to YOU, eventually, you’ll realize that no one else can offer the same love you give.
Therefore, their loss.
“ Maybe, you have to let go of who you were to become who you will be.”
What do you imagine your dream life after university will be like? I’m sure that every student
attending Suffolk has a professional goal for themselves. Fortunately, in order to become who
you want to be, you have to untie yourself from people who no longer serve you or someone
who does not see your values. Focus on yourself and your degrees; the day you walk into
Suffolk compared to the last day you will walk out, you will not even recognize yourself!
“ It’s not about finding love, it’s about creating a life that makes you happy, whether
you’re single or in a relationship.”
Look, breakups are painful, but they also set new standards for what we want in the next
chapter. We learn from our past relationships—like not giving too much of ourselves too soon. If
you and your ex are on speaking terms, you need to be okay with or without them. After my
breakup, I made an oath to myself: I would never be the girl who constantly talks about her
boyfriend. Just no, I refuse to be boring. The focus isn’t on needing someone else, but on
building a life that brings you joy and fulfillment, with or without a partner.
“ Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates, and guys are just people to have fun with ”
There are no words to explain the empowering spirit of girlhood/womanhood. I just moved to the
States (from Canada) not longer than a month ago and I can not describe how someone I barely
knew can be so supportive. There is nothing more humiliating than getting dumped during a
time of change. But, I want to shout out to all the women who are reading my stories or listened
to me cry on the phone. I wanted to THANK YOU for taking me back to girlhood, it’s been
peaceful and I think I’m going to enjoy it for a while.
