About the BlogYears back, when I was broken up with by my high school sweetheart, I constantly blamed myself. I asked myself what did I do wrong, how did I manage to lose him, and most of all, why wasn't I enough? After A LOT of soul searching, I finally had a realization that it wasn't me, and I did nothing wrong. I had to constantly remind myself it wasn't me, which lead me to say to myself, trust me, it's not you. That phrase got me through the hard days, the hard nights, and months of pain. When I decided to blog about break ups and advice, I knew that trust me it's not you, was the perfect title. Everyone needs to remind themselves that most of the time, it is nothing that they did. There are always external factors, and you can't blame yourself.

About the Blogger |
I am a girl in my early 20's who has gone through her share of heartbreak and pain.
After my freshman year of college my high school sweetheart broke up with me for another girl. Then during my senior year of college my next boyfriend decided he didn't want to be with me anymore and then started dating a friend he had known the entire time we were together, only a few months later. Talk about a strike to the heart. Trust me when I say these situations were not easy. I'll explain them more in my blogs, but this is just to give you all a little background into what inspired the creation of this blog. I needed an outlet for my pain and I found comfort in writing. I would write my thoughts down whenever I had to. On everything from restaurant napkins, to tissues, and to newspaper. Sometimes this was the only way I could stop myself from crying, and I felt like no one knew my pain. After a while, I felt like my thoughts and stories could help other people going through the same thing, which sparked the creation of this blog. Now, a few years after I started this blog, I'm in a happy and serious relationship with a great guy. My experiences with him and the people from my past continue to inspire me to give others breakup and relationship advice. The names in the blog are all fictional, but all of the stories and experiences are real. I hope you all can find some comfort in these blogs and know that you are not alone.
