Dear Ex,

We were together a long time, but not as long as most. I only have to think this was a good thing, and I will tell you why. I’m over it. I’m over the pain you caused me, I’m over the drama that was our relationship, and I’m over you just in general. But I do have to thank you. Thank you for showing me that I deserved better. Thank you for allowing me to know exactly what I want in a relationship. I believe that every person that comes into our life is there as a learning experience.

We weren’t meant to be together, and I hope that you realize that. Sure we had wonderful moments and memories. We shared a million laughs, but it only showed that we may only have been better as friends. And that is okay.

Not every relationship is going to be absolutely storybook. It takes hard work and unconditional love to get through the many trials that each relationship may face. I will admit that I gave up too easy, but with you pushing me away, it all became too hard and I wasn’t sure if I felt that it was worth it.

We just didn’t click. We didn’t fit anymore. It made me feel more like I was drowning in emotions and blame than in love and respect.

Do I still think about you sometimes? Sure. I think about the moments, both good and bad, that shaped me into the person I am today. I came out of our relationship that much stronger and I can honestly say that I am happy now. So thank you. Thank you for allowing me to realize how truly capable I am.

From,

Your Ex

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
