I was angry. I was hurting. I was broken down and I felt like I couldn't bring myself up.

I thought I wasn't good enough for anyone.

I would never wish for someone to be cheated on. It is probably the worst emotional pain anyone could ever feel.

I felt betrayed.

My trust was out the door.

My heart was breaking into millions of pieces.

I felt like I couldn't breathe.

I kept asking myself, "why?" over and over repeatedly.

After some time, a long, long time, I finally answered that why. That relationship wasn't supposed to work. That relationship was TOXIC and I knew I didn't deserve to be treated that way. And I knew I didn't deserve for it to happen REPEATEDLY.

Yes, I had my moments to where I was "crazy" but I simply couldn't trust him! I had my reasons and examples as to why I couldn't.

I've asked myself in the past, "why in the heck did I not leave then?" It would've saved so much heartache from happening, I would've had more time with my family and friends, and living my life in high school. But to be truthful, it was a good lesson learned. God wanted me to learn this lesson so I could learn my worth.

But thank you to the guy that cheated on me, I am so glad you did.

Like no, really, thank you.

Because of you, I met the REAL man God set me out to be with. Because of you, I now know my worth and I know how I should be treated.

I know what I deserve and how I deserve way more.

I'm the happiest I've ever been. I found a guy who DESERVES me and who I want to spend the rest of my life with. To also know he wants to spend the rest of his life with me as well is a remarkable feeling.

I am so glad you cheated on me because it opened up my eyes.

I grew up into a woman that I thought I'd never become. I am now with the man of my dreams!

I figured out what I want to do with my life with the man I love more than myself. Who would never dare hurt me and I TRUST that he wouldn't. This true love I have with my significant other taught me how to trust a man again. He has shown me how much I mean to him and how unconditional his love is for me.

Thank you for cheating on me because now, I'm in a LONG-LASTING, HEALTHY relationship going on three years! It's funny how things work out.

Being with the love of my life, he knocked down all the walls and barriers I had built up. He was like a breath of fresh air. He made me feel like I could breathe again after drowning myself in worry, doubt and negative thoughts. He has shown me my worth and what I truly deserve.

Thank you ex, thank you for driving me away so I could be with the man whom my heart loves and belongs to.

Was being cheated on a good lesson learned?

Yes. Because I know how much more I deserve.

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.
