Stop Searching

blond, human hair color, girl, socialite, long hair, One of the best ways to get over a fuckboy is to quick searching. I think this is one of the most common aspects when it comes to “finding the one.” I do not know about you, but times I find myself “looking” for my so called Mr. Right. I've notices that my energy can come off as misleading to a guy. To me, looking seems to be a form of distraction because it is, often, coming off as forced and not natural. It is also okay to not be looking for a relationship and stay single for a bit. Take time for yourself and I find moments when I am focused on, as cliché as it might sound, improving myself as a person more satisfying because it will attract other passionate and driven people, including guys who share similar priorities.

Take a Solo Vacay

Being alone gives you a chance to recover your own way. There are just moments in life when taking a mini getaway solo is best. You will be amazed with the experiences you will have and discover more about yourself as a person.

Write about It

performance, stage, This does not necessarily mean to write and get it published, but there are other outlets to go to if you want something a bit more private, like a journal or diary.

Treat Yo’ Self
