How to Move On After a Breakup: A Sarcastic Guide to Not Being a Miserable Loser


Ah, a breakup. That wonderful moment when the universe decides to give you a personal invitation to emotional hell. Congratulations. You’re now free to wallow in self-pity, or better yet, binge-watch Netflix while eating ice cream by the gallon like a well-adjusted adult.


1. Accept the Truth: You're Not That Special

Here’s the thing: you thought you were in some special relationship, didn’t you? Maybe you even believed this person was "the one"—as if the universe has time to cater to your personal romantic fantasies. Newsflash: they’re not.

The universe doesn’t care about your fragile ego or your idea of soulmates. You’re not the first person to experience heartbreak, and you won’t be the last. So stop acting like your pain is some profound tragedy that requires endless social media posts.

2. Reclaim Your Responsibility: It's Not All Their Fault 

Here’s a little secret that might be hard to swallow: you probably screwed up too. But, of course, it’s easier to paint your ex as the villain in this Shakespearean tragedy than to look in the mirror, isn’t it?

Maybe you ignored the red flags. Maybe you contributed to the toxic dynamic with your own shortcomings. Either way, it’s time to take responsibility—because the faster you realize it wasn’t all their fault, the faster you can grow up and stop being a victim of your own narrative.

3. Channel Your Inner Chaos: Use the Pain to Level Up

Oh, you’re in pain, are you? What an excellent opportunity to do absolutely nothing about it and spiral into a pit of despair. Or, you know, you could use that pain as fuel to become better—your choice, really.

Embrace the chaos within you, and instead of whining about the injustice of it all, use the energy to transform yourself. Work out, learn a new skill, or focus on your career—you know, those things that actually make you a better person rather than a bitter one. Pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional. Get it together.

There you go. Three sarcastic, but highly effective, pieces of advice. Now go, evolve into someone who doesn’t use their breakup as an excuse to ruin their own life.

Understanding Telos: The Core of Purpose and Meaning

In the grand narrative of human existence, few concepts are as fundamental—and yet as overlooked—as telos. Originating from ancient Greek philosophy, telos translates to “end,” “goal,” or “purpose.” It is not merely an objective to be met, but a profound calling embedded within each of us, guiding us towards fulfillment. Telos suggests that everything has an intrinsic purpose, a reason for being. This is not simply an ambition crafted by society or whim. Rather, telos is the inherent end-point towards which we all are unknowingly striving, often in unconscious ways. This concept, explored extensively by Aristotle, proposes that life is not a chaotic dance of chance. Instead, it’s a purposeful journey where each of us is equipped with the potential to actualize our unique nature. It is this process of aligning with our true telos that allows us to experience a life of meaning. To live without understanding our telos is akin to being lost in a forest without a compass. We might wander, a...

A Review of The Third Eye by Sophia Stewart

Sophia Stewart deems herself "the Mother of the Matrix" on the cover of her book The Third Eye .  For over twenty years now, Stewart has insisted that her original copyrighted material was plagiarized and used to create-not only the Matrix films-but also the Terminator series as well.  She compiles court documents surrounding the Matrix/Terminator RICO case along with the movie treatment, a photocopy of her original manuscript and more. Stewart wants fans to "find out the truth for themselves".  Stewart's story of The Third Eye takes you on a journey into the dystopian future of a post-apocalyptic Earth.  The planet has become barren and the inhabitants are starving and oppressed by evil forces. The sake of all humanity rests in the hands of the prophesied "One" and in the power of the Third Eye.  Stewart blended theological and technological theories into an impressive science-fiction adventure. I was engrossed by the way Stewart wrapped the timeless ...

What Is Co-Dependency? A Breakdown of the Cycle

Co-dependency, at its core, is an unhealthy relational dynamic where one person excessively relies on another to meet their emotional, psychological, and even physical needs. This reliance often becomes so habitual that it distorts the individual’s sense of identity and autonomy. It’s a form of emotional enmeshment, where boundaries are blurred, leading to a loss of self and the perpetuation of toxic relationships. Co-dependency isn’t merely about wanting to be close to someone. It’s about a pathological need to control or be controlled. This relationship pattern is often masked as care or love, but in reality, it’s a destructive fusion that undermines the well-being of both parties involved. At the heart of co-dependency is an unhealthy exchange. One person derives a sense of purpose by rescuing, fixing, or enabling the other, while the other person depends on this attention to function. It creates a cycle of neediness and false validation, trapping both individuals in a cycle that ne...
