An Open Letter to the Girls My (Ex)Boyfriend Cheated On Me With

My friends had told me from the get go that he was dirt, and of course I didn’t listen.

To the girl who didn’t care he was mine;

I’m not sure I’m ready to put this into words but I know if I don’t try I’ll continue regretting not putting into words what needs to be said. So, at least at the end of this, no matter how it ends, I can at least say I tried.

Whatever you think you know about me probably isn't true, because as we both know my ex is a liar. So, I will introduce myself first. I am 19, and I started dating my Ex in December 2013, just about 3 years ago. From what I understand, you didn’t know about that at the time you guys did the deed, so it's okay, I don't hold much against you. We both fell for a lying bastard, as far as I'm concerned.

When I confronted him about this, he told me that he didn't love you, that your relationship is built on just sex, and that he is not attached to you and only you are attached to him. I don't know the nature of your relationship, but I can hardly imagine that this would be a fair statement for you.

I also would like to say thank you, you set me free. Free of the lies, sleepless night, the constant worry, from the wondering of who he was with that night or any night for that matter, and from him. My friends had told me from the get go that he was dirt, and of course I didn’t listen. I just feel sorry for you, because it seems like no one told you soon enough. What’s sad is it took me flying 1,000 miles for you to find out about me, even though I was all over his social media. So maybe you did know and didn’t care. For my sanity I’m going to assume you did know.

On that note, you weren’t the only one. Just like all his other Florida girls, you were just a number, a day of the week, or just someone he knew he could get in bed. Maybe, he was just those things to you too. You should also know he asked both of us not to say anything to anyone, it’s not because he’s sorry it’s because he know this would ruin how his peers viewed him. Even you could have done better, I mean let’s get real. You knew better and you still continued to see him.

Whether we want to admit it or not, as girls we always dream about that one day when we find Mr. Right. Perhaps childhood friends, or that cute kid you met in chemistry class your sophomore year. Perhaps you meet him in your late twenties after landing your dream job in New York City. Interestingly enough, in all of the wonderful, hopeful, and promising love stories that we have all heard come true, not once has the beautiful girl fallen for the low-life, classless, loser who would cheat on his girlfriend.

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.
