An Open Letter To My Bestfriend's Boyfriend

"If she didn't love you I would hate you?

An Open Letter To My Bestfriend's Boyfriend

I see all the evil. I see all the pain you cause, all the tears, but I do nothing. I'm there at 2 a.m. while she is crying and you don't care. I'm there for your "apology" and your promise to do better and I'm here when you mess up again. Why do I stick around? Because she is my best friend. If she didn't love you I would hate you.

I don't know if you're a temporary period in her life or if she will keep forgiving you but this is what I do know:

  1. You have to do better. Plain and simple. She isn't supposed to cry so much. You're supposed to make her feel better. If you don't bring her happiness, what's the point?
  2. You need to grow up.You're past going out and getting drunk with your friends every single night. You're just a boy and she needs a man.
  3. You need to make time for her. She isn't just an option. She is a priority and you need to treat her as such. It hurts her when you cancel on her to go to a party and that's just flat out wrong.
  4. You have to start taking her out. She is something to be proud of. If I'm right, y'all have never been on a date before and you've been together for 6 months....

She sees the good in you, that's just how she is. She sees the good in everyone. She makes excuses for you and honestly believes them after she says them enough. I'm not like that. I know she can do better. I know she can find someone who treats her better and who loves her unconditionally but for some reason she chose you. So, now, you have to choose. You tell her you love her, but, actions speak louder.

I've been supportive and I've held my tongue, but I won't do that anymore. I will tell her the truth. I will say if someone honestly loves you they wouldn't be able to see you cry, the would want to spend time with you and they would want to show you off to everyone. I'm going to tell her about all the other fish in the sea and how you're just a rotten apple. It's going to hurt her, I know it is but it's better than the pain you cause. Once she finally sees the ugly in you, I'll eat ice cream and watch sad movies with her for a night and then, it'll be over. She will start moving on. It might take some time and that's okay because in the end she will be so much happier. Then she will find someone better. Someone who treats her like a princess. So, this is your warning. I know she loves you so you've won her over. But you haven't won. She is a long way from forever commitment and so are you. So if you want to stick around listen to what I said. I've known her a lot longer and I know her a lot better. She is reaching her breaking point. So good luck,I hope you make better choices because you have one of the best girls in the world. It would be a shame to see her go.

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.
