Signed Sincerely Not Yours.

A poignant yet solemn letter to a cheating boyfriend.

1184
Kiss off.

Dear BillyD,

Deep down, I knew. I saw the signs and even calculated the steep likelihood that you would be the deceptive type. The one mama warned me about. That is how you are wired, inevitably.

Your core being -- "The Partier" and "Woman Lover," taking in the moment. You live that title to the fullest, not caring how many women are playing blindly behind the scenes. You do not know how to fight for something because you have a dozen off in the background. This letter will not jar you in the slightest because you've played this drama hundreds of times - and you remain a repeat offender without remorse.

I was so deeply in love, and your power over me was simply that you were extremely good at "playing." It gives you a sick kind of high. I turned my head the other way. I denied it all. I opened my heart instead, leaving myself vulnerable to falling so deeply in love - but it was all destined to fall apart. It is not a matter of getting over me the next day. You are already over me. And for that, I am heartbroken that I was so gullible to deceit.

But the good news is that I have a sixth sense and a spirited light that has guided me to this ending. Your recent indifference to me, starting 10 days or so ago, has allowed me to embrace what you are NOT:

- You are not my forever.
- You are not my fighter.
- You are not kind to animals.
- You have no friends.

What you are is lazy. All play, no work. You poor thing. Here are a few ironies: you would rather drive to the post office indefinitely than fix your mailbox. You are a clean and well-dressed man that lives in a dump for a house. You are a veteran HVAC technician that has lived without central air for nearly 2 decades. You led me to believe you would do anything for "us," as long as we were together-- but you never met me halfway or found time to plan accordingly.

You did not want to "work" at a love that was so true on my part because you are the exact antithesis. Your resistance to my so-called "projects" was a point of contention with "us" - and ultimately pushed you away. Instead of seeing them as "fun, together time," you saw those core traits as "exhaustingly annoying." To this day, I still do not understand this reluctance.

Included with this letter is a package. I had two made for "us" and was planning to give one to you on our anniversary. Although not my original intention, I find it ironically appropriate -- a DOG TAG for a lying dog who is still lost in a superficial playbook of lies and deceit!

You are not who I thought you were. You are only what I believed you were. Now that I can step away from the situation, I know it is in my best interest for the long term. You are not my forever - Only a figment of my imagination. I am stronger now, and I will not fight for your love. It is over.

Kiss off, Asshole.

Sincerely not yours,

Me

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.
