So, this week has been super tough. Justin & I broke up.
I’m not going to go into any details, but I do want to say that my lady friends have been absolutely amazing. Like, beyond amazing. Like, I didn’t know they love me so much or that I have such good friends. These girls have been in my face, which I have needed. Calling, texting, facebook messaging, showing up at my house. Sitting in the bathroom with my so I can cry and not be embarrassed in front of our other friends. I’m so touched at the outpouring of love and support I’ve received.
I have plans all weekend and for the rest of the week so I don’t have to be alone. These girls have shown up for me in a big way and I can’t thank them or express enough how much this means to me. Not to mention thankful.
So, maybe reach out to a girlfriend who is having a hard time today and ask her how she’s doing. It has meant so much to me.

So sorry to hear about the break-up but I’m very very glad that you’re friends are there to rally around you and be there for you! I’ve been where you are recently so if you need anything at all, I’m happy to lend a shoulder from afar.

When one door shuts, others usually open. Maybe this break-up is your opportunity to really cherish your friends in ways you’ve never needed to before.

hey sweet girl,
I am so sorry you have to go through this right now. break ups are rarely enjoyable situations. each time i have to go through one, be it my choice, his choice, or both of our decisions, it just feels like a completely new wave of change and intense emotional impact. What is so beautiful amidst the hardness of it is that with such an incredibly powerful emotional and spiritual charge that happens in the days and weeks after a break up, new growth and change is just dying to happen. There is always an opportunity for the change to become something bad if you let your mind go to bad thoughts. but there is also so much opportunity for something really unique, beautiful and new to happen. A change that only elicits a choice of seeking good and loving kindness.
I dont know what the situations is, whether it was fully one persons choice to break up, or a coming to terms for the both of you. But I just am really sending good thoughts your way and hoping that you can have a lot of peace within the new change. Break ups are so damn hard. But like you said, there are some incredible kind hearted friends out there who are eager to keep your spirits up. And because you have such good friends, it should only reassure you that, to the core of who YOU are (without any man) YOU are a friend worth investing in. You are a woman who is worth the kindness that your friends so deeply want to give. You are a lovely individual with a voice that friends want to hear, a heart the others want to feel, and a spirit that is true and complete. You deserve goodness, and who you are deserves to give that to others too.
fill yourself up with your friends love right now darling lady. love yourself, remember why your friends adore you, and fill yourself up with an awesome combo of self love and friendly love so that when the right guy shows up, he wont even know what to do with all the beauty and embodiment of love that you are!!
