Florence + the Machine (ex-boyfriend Cole) - Florence has proven to endure the toughest of break ups and managed to produce an entirely new album with no memories attached within 5 months. As if her music wasn't proof enough that she is a goddess :D

Spring Awakening (ex-best friend Kyle) - To this day Spring Awakening still remains my favorite musical ever, along with musical I have seen most times. I will always look back with fond memories of this musical and sincere thanks to the friend who started my obsession.

Footloose (ex-hookup) - Let me start off by saying that I love Kevin Bacon and I love musicals. In fact that was something he knew about me after our first meetings. So the fact that I had not seen Footloose, the movie staring Kevin Bacon and with it's own musical, amazed him. He brought his copy over for me to watch the very next time we got together. He was that serious. And I was seriously pleased with such a perfect, classic, Bonnie Tyler enthused, movie.

The amazing wonder of riding in the front cabin of a monorail at Disney World (ex friend Kim) - In all my trips to Disney to have never experienced this before is a travesty. There is no experience of Disney fireworks to compare with with that one. We had such a blast that weekend

Miyazaki Films (ex-boyfriend Cole)- Beautiful movies, just astounding. I will always be thankful for the introduction to those.

Paulo Coelho (ex boyfriend Cole) - This author was of great importance to this relationship. With his insight to love, it seemed destined. I am so happy to have been introduced to his work. Its comforting to know that if sometimes I lose my faith when it comes to love, I can always go back and read something I once strongly believed in , which inspired me.

Dreams by Fleetwood Mac (ex-fling) - This song I feel was so appropriate for the way things turned out for us. But I will never forget it. He asked me one day if there was ever a song that made me cry no matter what, this was his. A true masterpiece of a song. As you readers have seen it made it to my list of greatest songs.

Death Note (ex-crush Hot Nick from Chinese class) - I actually didn't even watch this until way after crushing on him. I thoroughly recall him discussing this show and me being wildly intrigued. It ended up being my first ever anime. It remains my favorite.

I guess the point of this post was to show that no matter how things end, there is always good that comes from every event and I truly believe that as people leave our lives we are greeted with the arrival of someone new. Each mistake is just a stepping stone to an even greater adventure, if only we aren't afraid to take the leap.
