Betryal At It's Finest

This goes out to everyone who has ever been betrayed.

Trust takes years to build, seconds to break and forever to repair.

The worst thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your friends. Unfortunately, one of the crucial lessons I've had to learn the hard way is that, sometimes, the person you would take a bullet for ends up being the one behind the gun.

This is to the person that I trusted for years; the one who made all of the wrong choices in just a blink of an eye. This is also for all of those who can relate.

Trust is a sacred thing that many take for granted. No matter how much you trust someone, it could be demolished in only a short amount of time. It doesn't matter if you try to see the brightside of the situation because the darkness will always overcast upon it. What also doesn't matter one single bit is everything they used to say because who knows if it was even true. Who knows if anything they said was true.

You would like to think that you knew them but what they did makes that a very hard notion to conceive. I bet you are wondering why they did it. Why they let a small ounce of power take over them and turn them into everything they said they would never be. But I guess both you and I will never know. Some people's motives just don't make sense, no matter how you decide to look at them. That is the hardest part.

The second hardest part is pouring pieces of yourself into someone that decided to throw all of that away the first chance they got. Every personal story, every secret, everything you have ever done for them; meaningless.

I wish I could take it all back. I wish I had guarded myself better and I wish I had read the clear-cut signs that I chose to ignore. Knowing there was a slim possibility that I could have avoided this entire catastrophe kills me. This is a lose-lose situation because a part of me wants to go back to how everything was but the other part never wants to be so blind ever again.

Just know, things will never ever be the same again.

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.
