A Thank You Letter To The Boy Who Dumped My Bestfriend

I bet when you broke up with my bestfriend you never thought she would be happy about it. Truth is, at first she wasn't. At first, I thought you had broke that girl. She was a mess. I was the one that had to listen to her cry while you "got your space." I was the one that was responsible for cheering her up because you brought her down. I was the one that had to talk her out of texting you because she missed you. Finally, after it was all said and done, I got her out of the house. I introduced her to new people, new places, new experiences. It was then when you realized you had messed up. Seeing her happy again killed you. So of course, you had the decency to try to take that happiness from her. But guess what. There's no way I would let that happen. Breaking up with that girl was a big mistake.

She deserves that happiness. She deserves to smile. She deserves someone to tell her she's beautiful everyday because she is, inside and out. She deserves to live her life to the fullest with nothing holding her back. All the things you couldn't give her. One day, she will find a man, not a little boy. He will treat her like the queen she is. He will go to church with her, take her on dates, and buy her flowers. He will never need space away from her. He won't be able to imagine a life without her. Just think. You could have had that. You didn't think she made you happy at the time, but boy she thought you hung the moon. In a way, I feel bad for you. You have to live knowing that you gave up a one-in-a-million girl. Honestly, I couldn't thank you enough. Thank you for showing her everything she doesn't need in a boy. Thank you for passing her over to me. I am forever grateful that you gave me my bestfriend. So yes, I bet you never thought when you broke up with her she would be happy about it, but that's the best thing you've ever done for that girl. I've never seen her smile so big.

Love,

Your Ex's Bestfriend

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.
