Get Out Of That Toxic Relationship, Right Now

Being in a relationship can be the best and yet the worst thing. I asked myself these simple questions: Am I happy? Are we both putting in the same amount of effort? Am I a priority? I answered them all no. I knew it was over and I had to get out.

I was so tired of being sad all the time. I would cry myself to sleep night after night because I knew deep down I deserved better but never knew if I would ever get that. I was willing to be sad and just continue on.

I then knew that I was putting in so much more time and effort into something I was getting nothing out of. I would Snapchat and text frequently. He would respond but it would take so long. I tried to facetime and call him all the time. He would rarely ever answer and when he did he it lasted like two minutes. I always asked to do things together and was always told no or some other time.

I realized I was no longer a priority. I was now at the bottom of the importance list. I need to be shown I'm important and I matter. I could tell that I no longer was and that was the biggest wake-up call for me.

After looking into all of that I knew it was time to get out. If I didn't do it now it was going to get worse. I got out and didn't look back. It was hard to see someone's heartbreak but in the end, I'm happy. This is the one time in my life I will be selfish. I have to be happy or it will never work out.

It is never too late!

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.
