3 Things I Wish My Dad Told Me

Just like any other boy, he once was a young man who didn’t think anything of it when he broke another girl's heart.

A little girl's first love is usually her dad. He is the man who protects her and loves her always, since the day she came into this world.

You could never imagine your own dad ever hurting another female. But just like any other boy, he was once a young man who didn’t think anything of it when he broke another girl's heart.

I wish my dad warned me about what went through his head when he was a teenage boy. It would have helped a lot.

1. What about the girl who meant nothing to you?

Dad, I could never picture you ever trying to hurt another female because I know you would never do that to Mom or I. But whether I want to believe it or not, I know at one time you were a young boy who didn’t know any better.

I know you had a girl in your life who didn’t mean anything to you, but you made her feel like the world. You probably had no intentions of hurting her, but I know you did.

So please tell me what she did wrong to deserve being treated like she was something, but ended up as nothing to you.

2. What was going through your head when she told you she loved you and you just weren’t ready to hear it?

Did you pause like every boy does when they hear those three words, or did it just go through one ear and out the other? Did you even say it back?

When you lied, did you feel the guilt as it rolled off your tongue? I can’t even hear what your voice would sound like when you lied, telling me you love me.

But then again, I know there was a time where you were a boy and didn’t know any better.

3. Why wasn’t she good enough?

I’ve never felt good enough for anyone, and anytime you saw tears in my eyes, you would always put me back into my place. In your eyes, everyone is perfect in their own way, so how come she was never perfect enough for you?

I bet she tried hard and woke up early in the morning to do her hair and makeup for you, but no matter how hard she tried, it never worked for you.

So please tell me how someone could never be good enough for a man who sees the good in everyone.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
