An Open Letter to My First Love

I thought you were the one, but you failed me.

An Open Letter to My First Love

Don’t take this letter to be a warm welcoming. I can’t wait to graduate and never see your face again. I hate the way you talked to me in the past. You seem so submissive now that I’m gone. Blaming me for leaving when you were the one that constantly cheated. Why? What was the purpose of cheating on a girl that wanted to give you the world, yet you gave her nothing but the dirt of your disgusting personality.

Although thank you for that, I used everything you gave me to build a foundation of understanding that I will one day meet “the one.” It’s funny to see you try coming back throughout this year, leaving comments like;

“When you and your boyfriend break up, hit me up.”

It’s sickening to think you still believe there's a chance to be with me. I asked you multiple times to leave me alone, I pleaded with you to ignore my presence; I don’t want you in my life. I wish you never walked into it in the first place. How does it feel? Knowing that I will never be low enough to amount to your emotional abuse again?

You tried stating I left, I cheated, I still loved you deep down and that I pushed you away. Were you just lying to yourself to bandage your broken pride? You remind me of the evil villains in Disney movies; how sinister they may be. I digress, thank you for teaching me what love shouldn't be. In which making me realize that who I have now is better than you'll ever be.

Goodbye, every little girl’s worst nightmare.

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.
