An open letter from the girl who almost loved you

13

The only word I can use to describe what we had is "almost". We were almost together . We were almost in love . I still think about you . Way more than I should . It's like I never really got closure . But what kind of closure do I need ? I'm the one that "moved on" . That's why you're mad at me , & why you barely talk to me , right ?

I've never found someone I could open up to the way I did with you . We could literally talk about anything for hours and hours . I felt like I had known you for years . You made it so easy to let my walls down . I think that's why it hurt so much . All I wanted was to give you all of me .

I waited for you for 6 months . You knew what I wanted . You made me feel like I was the girl for you . You made me feel so special and so beautiful . "I could love you" are the exact words you said while laying next to me gazing into my eyes . That's the moment everything changed for me . The way my heart melted and the butterflies got so intense . Thats the moment I realized I could love you too , or did I already love you ? I loved your mind . I your loved words . I loved your sex . Our connection was something incredible & there was still so much more to you that I didn't know . I knew I was in way too deep . I thought you felt it too , but I guess I was wrong .

I couldn't keep waiting for you to make a move . The conversations stopped . You would disappear for days at a time . That feeling you gave me, started turning into a "hurt" feeling . I missed you so much and all I ever thought about was you . Every text that came through I prayed it was you . But I guess I wasn't important enough to be a part of your life .

Then all of a sudden I was in a relationship . I get it , it came out of no where . But I blew this guy off for 6 months because all I wanted was you . When you started disappearing , I had to replace the sadness I felt . You didn't do your part (you know what I mean by that) to turn our "almost" relationship into a real relationship . I moved on because all I saw was pain and a waiting game that I was never going to win . The problem is .. I never actually moved on .

So here I am almost 3 years letter writing this. It's not like you don't know how I feel . I've only told you 25 times . But now days you're the "one word text every couple of months" kinda guy , instead of the "deep meaningful daily conversation" kinda guy you were . I've made it clear that I miss you & that I want your friendship back , if nothing else . But you keep going ghost . So I guess that means you don't want me in your life & I'm gonna stop trying to be in it .

I just want to end this what a thank you . Thank you for showing me a kind of connection that felt so real and pure . Something that I never knew was possible & something so irreplaceable .

Sincerely,

The girl who almost loved you

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.
