I Always Come Back

Being in love does not always mean a happy ending.

I Always Come Back
Esther-Irene Egan

“Why do I keep coming back?” My strong words hold no meaning because no matter what, I come back. I always do. I always will. Friends and family won’t understand it. The gods have played a foul game with us. What did we ever do to sway their eyes on us? Are we villains who’ll never get their happy ending? Did we anger them by our happiness?

“You’re so addictive that it hurts.” I can’t keep away from you. Your body pressed into mine is the only thought that crosses my mind as my fingers frantically find release on my clit. Breath hitches in my throat pretending it’s your hands stopping the flow of air. You weren’t the one who took my virginity but why are we being punished as if it were? The gods have a twisted sense of humor, I suppose.

“I’ve played all my cards, and that’s what you’ve done too.” I gave this relationship all I had to offer. My walls run deep into my childhood and my strength to fight for us came from you. I understand you, because I understand myself. We are more similar than you give us credit for. We are both flawed in the emotions department but we had each other. We taught one another to love. Yet, that means nothing to you. You whisper broken promises on honey filled lies. “Nothing more to say, no more ace to play.”

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.
