You Didn't Come Close To Breaking My Heart

Here's the aftermath of a confused heart

You Didn't Come Close To Breaking My Heart
Pixgood

I vented pen to paper.

Certainly, I was hurt. Certainly, I made the right decision. But, I definitely didn't want you in my life anymore. Looking back, why did I cry over you? Why did I allow you to waste my precious time? And wasted it, you did.

You wasted my time for far too long, and I didn't want you to waste my time any longer. So, I made a change. I realized what I deserved in an instant, and you didn't deserve me...at all. Shame on you for stringing me along, but shame on me for allowing it.

After I decided you weren't worthy of my time, I let you go.

Surely I was hurt and I was confused but I was confident in my damn choice. So in order to heal, I vented. Maybe people don't understand the healing power of writing but, it is not weak; my written word could break that absent-hearted-son-of-a-b*&^$ in a heartbeat, whatever heartbeat he has left, that is.

A metaphor for the heart:

"I won't settle for anything less than what I deserve."

How can a flower speak to a stone in a garden? How does a stone speak to a flower in a garden? Does the stone even know that the flower is there, being an inanimate stone?

The flower wonders how a stone can fulfill a life full of passion and light when one is a stone? A stone; a solid, unfaltering, cold and hard mineral made from the earth. Surely a stone can be beautiful- tiny, sparkling crystals that may at times, reflect the sun's rays. A stone can be large, or small, smooth or rigid; but usually maintains a shape generally oval or spherical.

A flower on the contrary....a flower starts as a seedling and grows with time. With the sun's rays, a flower grows happy and free. It never chooses to outgrow another flower, but to grow with the seasons. Flowers are beautiful; with so many shapes, delicate petals, sizes, scents and vibrant colors.

Flowers have a relationship with the ground in which they sprout from; the wind in which their seeds travel, the sun in which strengthens their stems and the rain in which feeds their roots. A flower sways in the wind's direction and if neglected will wilt. Mostly, flowers abide by their cycles; they grow into a beautiful art of nature.

Stones...are made and drafted to one shape for all eternity. A stone does not grow when watered or sway in the direction of the wind's gust. It sustains its current state of being for infinite- without any feeling but cold. In essence, is it fair that a stone is destined to have no feel?

Does a flower have a choice but to grow?

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.
