A Thank You Letter To No Caller ID

I met me when I lost you.

A Thank You Letter To No Caller ID
Cecilia Rolow

Dear No Caller ID,

I met you at a very weak time in my life, I was desperate to say the least and the next year and a half proved that. I was young, stupid and looking for a relationship, but what I got was a new perspective on life.

We had fun. Don't get me wrong I had a blast sitting at home eating cookout every night, crying because you cheated again and sitting on the edge of my seat wondering if you were going to break my heart again.

But I'm not writing this letter to bash you or make you look bad, I'm writing this letter to tell you I'm better than that relationship and I'm a better person because of it.

During our almost 2 year relationship I truly lost myself and I lost sight of what we were. Towards the end I couldn't come up with a positive thought about us, I just knew I loved you because you became an actual part of me. I couldn't go anywhere without someone asking where you were or what you were up to. My opinions became our opinions, my plans were our plans...

When I got an amazing opportunity you told me I wouldn't get it, you told me to not even try and that's when I knew I fell out of love with you. The "other part of me" didn't think I could do it and be successful. No one is going to tell ME what I can and can't do. That's just about the time we ending things and you moved on with someone else and I moved on with my life.

I blocked you and tried to start my new life. One I knew I had to start from the ground up because with you, I lost my friends and myself. After a few months I started receiving calls from a "No Caller ID" and i had no idea it was you, I thought maybe it spam (you know the things you signed me up for online?)

Then one day you said something... it wasn't much, a simple "hey" and my world shattered. I received those calls for months and months, making moving on and finding someone who actually cared impossible because I hoped that you would want me back and want to fix everything. I sat at home waiting for you to call, I blew off dates, my friends and family for you. I couldn't start a new relationship because you were coming over or you said that you wanted me to wait for you, wait for you to end things with her so that we could be together. You manipulated me, I knew that you wouldn't leave her, I was naive.

But don't worry, I finally met someone. One who I can always count on, a strong person, an independent person, a caring and loving person. I met me when I lost you.

I found new friends that always make my day better, I got a job that I look forward to going to, I found happiness... all without you.

I'm laughing again, smiling for no reason and enjoy spending time with people I blew off because of you.

So thank you for showing me your worth, showing me that you will never change and showing me I deserve so so much more.

One day I'll meet someone who compares to me. Someone that will realize my worth and love me for my successes and my failures, but until then... it's a job I can handle.

So please stop calling bb because I won't be picking up anymore.

Sincerely,

This person is no longer available to accept your calls.

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.
