A Letter To The Boys Who've Broken My Friends' Hearts

"The biggest coward is a man who awakens a woman's love with no intention of loving her."

First of all, I'd like to personally give each of you an award for taking each of my best friends and making them believe they aren't good enough for boys like you all, as well as convincing me to believe each of you were worth their time.

Let's back track for a second. I have to admit, it was great to see each of my friends' faces light up each time they'd read your conversations out loud to me for approval of what to say next. All of you charmed your sweet way into their hearts and placed them on cloud nine, which of course made me float up there with them. When someone you care about is happy, it makes it impossible not to be affected by their good mood.

But none of you were there to answer the many insecure questions they were left with when you decided to walk away.

"Why wasn't I good enough?"

"Am I not pretty enough?"

"Do I need to lose weight?"

"Did I try too hard or care too much?"

"Was there someone else?"

Every time, I'm the one picking them up off the floor when the margaritas they drank to feel better got the best of them. I'm the one having to reassure each of them that they are absolutely worthy of love. If I could collect all the tears they've shed over silly boys like all of you, I could absolutely end droughts.

Unfortunately, I cannot make myself hate any of you. How could I hate someone who once made some of my best friends feel like the luckiest girls in the world? So, I simply dislike all of you. A lot. And not only did each of you break their hearts but you each left me feeling disappointed, hurt, dumb, and an awful friend for rooting for you guys. Because of course I was rooting for you to be the one to prove to them not all guys are the same.

In the future, to save another best friend many tear stained pillows and broken record talks, realize that chasing a girl with no intentions of catching her or vice versa, is cowardly. I, of all people, understand, changing your minds and realizing there just may not be feelings there, is human, but leading them on to believe they have a chance, making them trust you, and allowing them to fall for you just to rip the rug out from underneath them is cruel. Maybe next time, be gentle with a girl's feelings and let them know your intentions up front.

All in all, I hope all of you realize what you've left behind. Or rather, I should thank you for not wasting any more of my wonderful friends' time. Thank you all for showing each and every one of them what they deserve and for giving them a chance to realize how wonderful they all are. You boys will not be missed.

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.
