Don't go back to the person who hurt you

They'll only keep doing it.

Okay, I get it.

You really like or love this person, and you miss them. You're allowed to miss someone who you felt like you had a connection with, but don't go back to them.

They hurt you in the past and, the truth is, even if they said they changed, they didn't.

Nothing triggers me more than seeing someone keep going back to the person who keeps hurting them over and over again. Whether they hurt you by saying they don't want a relationship with you when that's what you thought you were getting into, or by being a complete asshole, they still hurt you.

They're going to keep hurting you, no matter how many times you go back to them.

You need to realize that the relationship you're trying to hold onto is toxic, and it's not going to work out. People never change, no matter how much they say they have.

I've been in this situation before. The guy ended things with me for some dumb reason and he'd block me on everything. Then, months later, he comes back and asks for another shot.

He says he's changed and begs me for another chance until I cave in. After a while, I realize why we were done in the first place. We end things again and I say we're done for good, but then the same thing happens all over again until I've finally had enough.

Once you say you're finished with someone for good, don't go back to them. They're just going to keep hurting you. Things won't change the second time around, and they DEFINITELY won't change the tenth time around.

Open your eyes and realize that this routine is unhealthy. Even if you guys do ~somehow~ make things work for a bit, things will eventually fall apart again.

I'm so tired of hearing and seeing people go back to the person who keeps hurting them.

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.
