Thank you for letting him go...

Dear My Boyfriend's Ex,

I don't want to come off too strong, but I'd like to start off with thanking you. Thank you for in whatever way losing him. Thank you for messing up so badly that he is no longer yours. As much resentment as I have towards you, I also appreciate that at one point in his life you took care of him for me. You may not be on good terms, and-- for my sake-- I hope you never are, but at one point you loved each other and for whatever reason it ended and thank god because he's mine now and I won't ever lose him. Although I'm happy that for whatever reason you aren't together anymore, I'm also angry because without even knowing it you've wrecked pieces of him. There are certain things he doesn't do because he remembers how mad it made you and assumes it would be the same with me. There are times when he's afraid to even laugh at a dirty joke with his friends because he's afraid I'll get mad at him like you used to. Without even knowing, you've trained him to be afraid to be himself. Slowly but surely I'm breaking that shell, but it's hard for him to understand that it's okay to laugh at a joke or spend time with his friends. He always expects a fight when he is out with them. Although this bothers me, it can't compare to the fact that thanks to you, who for all I know could have been his first love, I plan I being his last which to me is a heck of a lot better. Thanks to you he's mine now and I will treat him right and I will make him happy and I will care more about his feelings than my own. He's the one for me I've known this for some time now, so thank you for letting him go, because I never will. And when the day comes that you look back and you miss him and you regret letting him go, forget about it, because he most definitely is the one you let get away and he's never coming back..

Thank you,

His One and Only

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.
