To Anyone That's Ever Been Taken For Granted

It's not you, it's them.

To Anyone That's Ever Been Taken For Granted
dailyhappyquotes.com

There have been many times in my life where I have felt like I have been taken for granted. Sometimes people expect way too much from you and just keep on taking from you because they know you'll always be there. Sometimes it gets to be too much. There are many people in my life that I feel have been taken for granted from people around them. It's a really shitty feeling and it never really goes away. Then there's comes a day where they completely cut you out of their life when you've been nothing but good to them even though they didn't really offer the same to you. Sound familiar?

Whether it's a family member, friend, boyfriend or girlfriend, if this has happened to you, please do not feel like you aren't good enough. People who act like this were put in your life for a reason. I think it's so you can learn who to trust and who not to trust throughout your life. Hopefully, you find out sooner than later so you can cut them off before they do it to you. It's even worse when you've done so much good for a person and it clearly wasn't enough.

Take this as a valuable lesson. You hopefully now know to never let someone treat you like that ever again. Even if you really cared for that person, you know that if they really cared about you they wouldn't treat you that way. People will constantly come and go in your life which is really sad and can be really devastating. If they ever say sorry for treating you this way and you end up forgiving them, there's more props to you.

Nobody is perfect but if you give someone chance after chance and they still do not change, then you need to let them go.

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.
