Being Stuck In A Place Of Hurt

It's kind of like the song... The Man Who Can't Be Moved by The Script. That's how I feel constantly.

I met this boy on Tinder because I am that classy girl, and he was perfect. And when I mean perfect, I mean perfect. Let's say his name was Todd. Todd was the perfect man you could ever think of, sweet, nice, hot, and sensitive. He was Prince Charming. Before we begin, let me tell you some background info about myself. I have been in two or three serious relationships, and I thought this was the one I was looking for.

We ended up meeting and let me tell you oh man I knew he was the one, we continued to hang out and then he met my parents and they loved him...he was a total family man. What I thought wasn't going to be a thing happened, me and Todd were always together, he was always texting or calling me and we would even FaceTime each other at night and fall asleep together. It was beginning to look up for me after years of being abused mentally and physically and I was just ready for something real and something to make me happy. I thought I had found what I was looking for in Todd. Things started getting serious and I became a little suspicious about Todd's ex girlfriend, (we can call her Taylor) Todd and Taylor had dated before for 4 years and I felt this weird sense like something was wrong. Todd randomly would bring her up and constantly tell me everything was okay and that he didn't have any feelings for her and that he hated her for what she did to him. So I shrugged it off, I should not have done that. I should have listened to my gut and what it was telling me, which was telling me to get out of this relationship now and to do it fast. Of course, me being me, I didn't listen. We continued to talk and to be happy but something was wrong. On 9/28/2016 in the morning, I figured out what was wrong. Todd and I had barley talked all day- which wasn't really normal but happened at times.

I got a message around 3 in the afternoon from Taylor's roommate... telling me Taylor and Todd had been together for the whole time Todd and I had been. I was devastated. I was kind of in a state of numbness. I didn't know what to say or do. Taylor's roommate and I continued to talk and she sent me a picture that was a text conversation from Todd and Taylor... Todd proceed to tell Taylor, me and him were just friends and that we had done nothing, which was a compete lie. I knew then, this was over. I texted Todd and he didn't deny anything, but he also didn't admit to anything. He then proceeded to block my number and he blocked me on Facebook which I thought was kind of childish for a 20 year old.

I wish I had listened to what my gut was telling me because this was the second time this has happened in a row. You think I would learn the first time? I did not, but I'm certainly wishing I did right now. I think all I am trying to say or get across from this, is please please make sure the person you are talking to or plan on dating isn't going to get in the way of you being happy and if you have a gut feeling of something bad happening trust it. Do not end up in a point where you aren't happy. It sucks, take it from someone who knows what it feels like.

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.
