Second Chances

The thing that scared me the most about second chances...was knowing how hard the first goodbye was...

Second Chances had always been a weird concept to me. How could a person forgive someone who did them wrong?

That's when I got older and realized a few things about second chances.

It takes a lot for a person to give someone a second chance. Because in order for a second chance to be necessary that would mean that someone must have screwed up some kind of way in their first chance.

To me Second Chances are my way of saying that I am willing to let someone who caused me so much pain, back into my life

The first mistake was the reasoning for the wall I'd built around my feelings. Giving you this second chance was my way of seeing if you were willing to climb it, to knock it down.

Atleast that's what I had convinced myself to believe.

In reality the Second Chance was given because I wanted to believe that you didn't mean to hurt me. I would make up countless reasons as to why you HAD to do what you did.

Honestly though,

Second Chances had become easy for me.

I know what to expect, which also makes me cautious. I know to forgive but never forget. But the thing that scares me the most about second chances....

Is knowing how hard the first goodbye is. The second one could possible break me down.

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.
