My Top 20 Things I Did After a Break-Up

We live in a contradictory world when it comes to love. Our friends are getting engaged and planning weddings but tell us to "work on ourselves" after a breakup or "maybe it's not our time to find love," on and on...

I was almost engaged when he decided he didn't love me one day. People near and dear to me told me, "You can now have time to work on yourself." What? What does that even mean? I thought it was a bunch of crap... before I started to think about it.

I decided that might just be the best thing for me, to work on myself. To do that... I've made a list.

First things first, I have always wanted to write a blog. One that would honor God and share the meaning of the gospel while also helping young girls get through life, like hard breakups.
