An Open Letter To The Guy Who Thought I Needed Him
The Break Up Survival Guide

To the guy that thought I needed him,

" You made my heart break, and that made me who I am."

Well I bet you are suprised that I am writing something dedicated to you, because we both know I do not owe you anything. The best thing about this letter though, is that it isn't for you, it's for me. I can finally make sure nothing is left unsaid and move on with my life, making sure you are not included in it. The first mistake you made was thinking that I needed you, when truth is I wanted you yes, but I am here stronger than ever writing this because I don't need you, never have and never will.

You thought because of my feelings for you that no matter what you did I would never leave. You thought that you could talk to as many other girls as possible, and that I would just stick around, well look how that turned out for you. As much anger and sadness I once felt, I am happier than ever, and I forgive you.

Even after everything I wish you nothing but the best, because you are not a bad guy. Yes, you made some bad choices, but I think you just need to accept the fact that you need to be single and figure out what you want because leaving a trail of broken hearts isn't who you are.

I just want to end this by saying prove to yourself that you are the guy that I know you can be. Though we went through some nasty times, we had so many good ones, and the start of what we were was picture perfect. Put your heart into the next relationship you get into, because I know you put your heart into everything else, don't rush into anything, and make sure they make you happy.


Thanks for the memories and thank you for allowing me to prove to myself that I can pick myself right back up when someone pushes me down.

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.
