An Open Letter To The Guy I Worshipped

I am worth so much more than a boy that doesn't treat me right.

Dear You,

When we met, you treated me right. You said all the right things, anything you thought I'd want to hear. You led me into your trap, which consumed me for months. You used me, and it wasn't until after the fact that I realized it. I can't even say I was infatuated with you because the truth is, "you" were never really there. I was infatuated with the thought of you, the "you" that you made me like so much, that everything around me was a blur.

Maybe your actions weren't intentional, but they sure as hell were hurtful. Who am I kidding? You had me wrapped around your finger, you knew what you were doing. You put me under a spell and I didn't even know it. I let you drag me through your games, yet I was still infatuated with you. I made excuses for why you did what you did, I tried to rationalize my thoughts. Was I being crazy? Was I overthinking things? You do what so many guys do, treat us right, and then suddenly you become a whole new person, once you get what you want. I have dealt with it many times, but mark my words this is the last time. You made me realize that I am worth so much more than late night "come over" texts and talking to me only when it's convenient for you.

I will no longer be walked all over. I will treat myself with respect, and always remind myself that I deserve so much better. I deserve someone that will truly care about me, enough to stick around, someone that doesn't have a hidden agenda.

One thing I will learn from this series of unfortunate events is that I am worth so much more than a boy that doesn't treat me right. The way things ended, only reflect on your character, not mine. I am truly grateful for your disrespectful actions and sh*tty personality, because I will come out of this situation a stronger person, while you will continue with your ways until hopefully one day you realize there is so much more to life. I will not be defined by my mistakes because I am a strong independent woman and I don't need no man. *Flips hair.*

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.
