Yes, You Broke My Heart But No, I Don't Regret Dating You

You were placed in my life for a purpose, but you weren't meant to be there forever and that's okay.

Yes, You Broke My Heart But No, I Don't Regret Dating You

We've all had that one relationship that just killed us. If you're lucky, you haven't had to deal with this several times because it's not fun. It's hard and it's painful. However, even though I had my heart broken, I never once regretted our time together.

Before things went downhill, we had a really good relationship. We had fun together, we laughed, we played, we enjoyed each other's company.

But then one day, things just weren't the same anymore.

Apparently, it was time for the relationship to end. You felt that you didn't need me in your life anymore. That crushed me. We were so close and it scared me to not have you in my life anymore.

You broke my heart.

Life went on though. I dealt with the struggle for awhile, but one day I woke up and I realized that you were put in my life on a temporary basis and that was it. You had a purpose for being placed in my life, and once you fulfilled that purpose, it was time for each of us to move on to bigger and better things.

You broke my heart the day you decided to leave, but I don't regret the time we shared together.

We drove around, we watched Netflix, we went on dates, we FaceTimed each other, we spent time with each other's families, we played at the playground like we were 5 year olds, we loved each other. But we weren't supposed to stay in each other's lives forever.

I don't regret any of our decisions. We had a good time together. We taught each other things that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. We made so many memories. I will never forget the good times we had and the laughs we shared.

It's just time for each of us to move on. Like Clay Jensen said to Hannah Baker, "I love you and I let you go."

So even though you broke my heart. Even though it was hard to move on. Even though you sometimes act like you don't care. Even though you've changed into a different person for the worst...I don't regret dating you. Not for a second.

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.
