A Breakup Letter To Junk Food
Smash Fit

Dear Junk Food,

It is with a heavy heart that I write you this letter. It's very hard for me to write. I've been having these thoughts for a while now, playing with the idea and going back and forth. But I've made up my mind, and I've decided that I can't be around you anymore. I'm sure you saw this coming. I know we've been on and off for a long time now, but it's real this time. I am saying goodbye to you. It's over.

There's something I need to tell you. You deserve to know the truth. Part of the reason for this break up is because of someone else. I was at Target the other day when I laid my eyes on the most amazing thing. It was the cutest bikini I think I've ever seen. I've never felt this way about anything before. That's when I realized that I just don't think I can be with you anymore.

It's not you, it's me. When I am around you, I lose all self control. I lose myself. But the time has come that I need to be strong and do what is best for me, and honestly it's not you. You aren't good for me. I loved spending time with you, but you always made me feel bad about myself. I would feel sick to my stomach sometimes. Our relationship wasn't healthy.

We've had an amazing time together. You were always there for me. I loved the days when we would just lay in bed all day and watch Netflix together. I loved that you were always waiting at home for me after a night of drinking. I loved that whenever I was feeling down, you would hold me in your arms.

We've shared so many memories. You've seen me at my best and at my worst, and you've always been very accepting of me. You've been nothing but kind, patient, and supportive. We've had many laughs and many cries together. I know you will make someone else very happy. Just know that you will always hold a special place in my heart, and maybe one day our paths will cross again (after bikini season). I hope we can still be friends.

Love,

Nicole

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.

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.
