Can Love Exist In This Generation?

Yes, I have made mistakes but I am not perfect. I made those mistakes because you hurt me. Don’t slut- shame me because you don’t have me anymore; I am worth more than the way you have treated me. You used me at your convenience and then threw me away like I was something disposable. Although, what hurts the most is that I hoped you would change.

I was so in love with you to the extent where I allowed you to play with my emotions. I’d let you manipulate me because I didn’t want to believe that I was being used. I would take advantage of any moment I could have you; even if it was just that……a moment. I thought, I would rather have a moment than nothing all. At those moments, you made me feel wanted and I could tell you liked my company whenever you smiled at me. We would shyly flirt, laugh and kiss until the sun rose up. When our lips touched, my heart would beat rapidly and my body would tremble a little because it felt so right. Those moments, I cherished when I knew you would move past it like any regular day.

Then there came a day when I felt myself losing grasp of those moments because they never expanded from that. I wanted something deeper, a relationship. I cared about you and I wanted to make you happy but you didn’t want those things with me. I was strictly a girl to satisfy your needs at your own time. I loved you and you said, “I’ll change for someone who is worth it.”

I just hope that when you do come across a girl that is worth your love; that you’ll cherish her and love her unconditionally. I don’t wish it upon any girl to experience what you have put me through because no girl deserves that.

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.
