Emotional Cheating

To the boy who never loved me.

First off, I want to say, you suck.

My biggest regret is not listening to everyone, how stupid could I be? Is it bad I hope you suffer? Is it bad I would rather have you in physical pain than be happy with someone else? Is it bad I hope no one ever trusts you again? If so, I'm not sorry.

The fact the you knew how vulnerable I was, and still took advantage of my emotion tells me you never cared. I'm not even sad anymore, I'm just angry. Telling someone you love them, while lying to them, does not really add up, does it?

When we first got together I felt like I was flying, I loved everything I loved my life I wanted everyone to be as happy as I did. That only lasted about a month. As soon as you got mad when I hangout with anyone but you, I started to feel that amazing feeling disappear.

Months went on and I gave my full and undivided attention to you and only you. I missed out on so much but I felt like I owed you. You made me feel guilty, like I was a bad person for living my own life without you.

The first time I caught you cheating, you said it was a misunderstanding and "I was just messing around with her, I was going to show you the messages because it was a joke" So why did I have to find them myself two months after you told this girl you had feelings for her?

I can't even count how many times I've been called crazy for being upset about emotional cheating.

"He never had sex with her, so why are you so upset?"

"That's not cheating."

But it is, and from experience, it's worse. All cheating is bad, but with emotional cheating, there are actual feeling involved rather than a one night stand or random hook ups at a party with people you might never see again.

I let this go on for almost a year I was too afraid to lose someone who didn't even love me. As much as I miss it, I would never go back to such manipulative relationship again.

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.
