And if your on “the other side of the coin” and glad to be out of a messy situation with someone – here’s a little piece of wisdom from your very intelligent older sister… Do not, under ANY circumstances let your ex friend/ boyfriend etc… see they hurt you.  I know it really does hurt.  But they do NOT get to see you vulnerable anymore.  They lost that privilege.  Show your strongest self around them.  I know it’s tough to be this way when your knees are shaking and your heart is pumping fast.  Just remember your theme song for the day!  Big thanks to Kelly Clarkson for her inspiring song, “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger.”  Take it away, Kelly!
