An Open Letter To The Guy Who Ripped My Heart Out

Sometimes you have to experience sadness in order to experience joy.

An Open Letter To The Guy Who Ripped My Heart Out
Laura Yates

Well hello there,

I didn’t expect you to come into my life again after not speaking for weeks, but here you are. To be honest, I don’t know whether to be happy and overjoyed or angry and frustrated. Yes, we had a lot of good times together from watching movies in your apartment to just sitting on your couch listening to your roommates bicker. But, in the end, the lack of communication eventually drove us apart.

Because of you, I have spent many nights alone in my room crying and wondering what I did wrong, or if I did anything to hurt you. If I did do anything to hurt you in any way, please know that it was never my intention, and I apologize for that. But also, look at this from my perspective — I’m young. I'm known to screw up at least once and just as any normal person would like someone. I cared about you, maybe a little bit more than I should have. I cared about you because I genuinely felt something for you, and no matter what, I will always care — No matter what anyone tells me.

But I am also frustrated with you.

I was there for you when you needed me, but you never reciprocated. I tried to help you as much as I could with the issues and problems you presented, but there is only so much I could do, and that frustrated me. I tried to help you, but you didn’t let me, and you never let me in. I can’t know what you’re thinking if you don’t tell me. When you texted me earlier this week, I was very shocked and got very frustrated. You had plenty of opportunities to talk to me, whether in person or over the phone. If you wanted to talk to me, all you had to do was find me. Our college campus is so small, we could see each other almost everywhere we go. Yes, I figured it would probably be really awkward to talk to me again after not speaking for a period of time, but you could have done it and made it less awkward for both of us. It really isn’t that hard.

So, do I miss what we were, absolutely! There is not a thought in my mind that doesn’t miss what we were. I just wish we could have worked on it and done some things differently so this situation could have been avoided entirely. You still mean a lot to me, and I will always care for you. I wish nothing but the best for you.

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.
