To The Boy Who Sends Me Nothing But Mixed Signals

You never deserved me.

It is honestly funny because, six months ago, I would kill to hear you say these things to me. But here I am, six months later, sitting on the bus going to swim practice and you decide to spill everything out.

You're only doing this because it's convenient for you. But that's okay because you're known to only care about yourself.

You say you're doing this now to protect me, but I'm confused. Why do you need to protect me from you SIX MONTHS LATER after it's over and done with?

You say you want me to hate you, but we both know that is almost impossible. I am starting to really dislike you as the person you are now.

I didn't want answers because I was just now getting over it, but you decided to tell me things I didn't want to hear. I was lost for words; all I could say to you was "why?" I almost cracked. I was going to tell you everything you did to me and how it affected me.

It made me who I am now. You taught me how to be cold-hearted, and you taught me that it's better to not have feelings.

You are the exact reason why I can't let anyone in.

You played the game really good. You smooth-talked your way through everything, and I believed you.

So now when I am talking to someone else, I cannot believe a word they say because you destroyed what little trust I had for anyone.

You say you hurt me because you had no confidence, and cheating was the only way you knew how to get out. I guess you've never been through that kind of pain, so you don't understand the feeling.

There is almost no way to explain the pain you put me through. When I found everything out, my world basically crashed and burned. I had to keep it together though. I wasn't going to show you the effect you had on me. Every time I saw you, a piece of me cracked a little more.

I went through the whole "Gilmore Girls" series on Netflix to try and distract myself from thinking of you. I did anything I could to get my mind off of you.

Luckily, it was the end of the school year, so I no longer had to pass you in the hallways. I no longer had to hear your voice because you made the attempt to make sure you were talking loud enough for me to hear.

Everyone told me not to trip over you from the beginning, but I never listened. Now I know that I should have.

But all I know, still after everything we've been through, is that I would still only want to be with you.

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.
