An Apology To My Heart

I wish I could've taken better care of you.

To my heart,

All I can really say is that I am sorry. Yes, maybe it's crazy that I am apologizing to my own heart, but let me explain something. My heart has gone through a lot of damage, and that damage has been caused by me and me alone. So I am sorry for not taking the time to guard my heart better.

If I guarded my heart like I should've, I would've prevented a lot of pain and heartache. I would've been able to be happy and feel love. Love would come naturally to me. Instead, my heart got damaged and it made me build up walls which affected my relationships extremely.

I have felt lost the past couple years and if I took care of my heart more, I could've been emotionally better. In general, I am a very emotional person and I let those emotions take control of my life.

My heart, I wish I had taken care of you more. You are apart of me, the thing keeping me alive. We are two in one and I truly am trying to take better care of you. I have gone through a lot in my life. The way I have handled or reacted to things that have happened are not the way I've wanted to be. If I have taken care of my heart, I believe I would've reacted differently or better.

I know my heart doesn't have feelings, but apologizing makes me feel like I am doing something to change how I've been acting. I want to be constantly emotionally stable and the start is guarding my heart and taking care of it. Without that, it's a dead end.

I wish I could change how I've been. To my heart, I am sorry. One day, things will change.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
