A Letter To My Ex: The Real Reason Why I Left You
thetwoangles.com

When I broke up with you, you asked so many questions. "Why?" "Is there someone else?" "Did you ever love me?", etc. I didn't want to answer those questions because I saw the hurt that was in your eyes and did not want to hurt you more. But I need to get this off my chest.

When we first began to get to know each other, you told me that you live on your own. You said: "I have my own place." And as someone who didn't know any better thought that was cool. Little did I know that you lived in a camper in your parents back yard. A camper that didn't have plumbing, you still needed your parents to do your laundry and get food. You while as well have lived in the house. You are messy. When I first came there you said it was "so clean" but all you did was create a trail from the door to the sitting area. There was still dirty clothes everywhere and food that had been out for so long that it attracted bugs.

You are unmotivated to do anything with your life, yet you still expect the world to fall into your lap. You dropped out of high school and never have been to college all because you claim that you "can't learn." I don't believe you try. You also have no job. You did not motivate me in the slightest and brought me down, if anything. Since you have no money, your parents give you money, which is somewhat understandable. But when I have seen your dad give you gas money and you buy food with it and then have the audacity to ask me for help with gas money is unacceptable. You also throw temper tantrums like a two-year-old.

And, no. There was not anyone else. I made the decision to leave you all on my own.

As for the love, I did not really love you. I was too young to know the difference between love and infatuation. I thought that I loved you; I really did. But when I saw what kind of person you really are, I realized you were not the one I wanted to be with in any way.

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.
