It's time...

An Open Letter To Myself: Move On
Quotefancy

Dear me,

What's going on? You have priorities and you have goals. I know you. I know you want things and yet here you are, all wrapped up in your fantasies, over a guy that you liked during your senior year of high school. Really?

What's wrong with you?

You're in college. You should've moved on. He doesn't like you. He never did and we both know that. Okay, I'll give you some slack. You didn't know for sure. But to be fair, you could have. You could've taken initiative, you could've asked him out, hell, you've literally annoyed the crap out of your friends to seek what limited advice they had since both of them were single.

Just move on.

For some reason, you actually hoped that somehow he felt the same toward you. So what if he told you that he liked one of your poems? So what if he doesn't ignore you when you text him despite the fact that he's totally fed up with you? So what if he liked a few things on Facebook? He was just being nice! He probably felt sorry for you. I don't know why you didn't have any problems back then, or did you?

Move on.

Couldn't you read the signs? You started the conversations mostly. You asked him to homecoming, only to find that he was taking someone else. You asked him to play a duet with you on an upcoming recital only to have him turn you down. You could've asked him to go to prom, too, but you assumed, like last time, that he'd take someone else. But instead, he was watching "Titanic" alone on a Saturday night.

Move on.

Senior year is over. High school is done. He moved elsewhere. He's going to college. He's serving his mission. He obviously has priorities of his own. You cease to exist.

Move on.

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.
