To The Girls Who Always Get Left Behind

"You are worth it."

I am guessing you have probably heard the "You are perfect and everything I have been looking for", and then a week later they are gone.

Some nights your eyes close softly, with a smile on your face, because he seems like he is going to stay. Until it happens again.

It is like a switch

It is crazy how everything can be going so great, and then the next moment you do not hear from them again. No words explaining why, no apologies, literally nothing.

It is habit to not care

You've begun to predict the future. You get your hopes up, and then it happens again. It is like a repetitive cycle that you cannot seem to escape from.

You still wonder what you did wrong

Your parents or friends usually say, "Do not worry, it is not you, it is him" but you question that. After it has happened almost every time you talk to a guy, you put it more on yourself each time.

The lengthy situations are the worst

You have gotten used to about the two and a half week mark until they fall off the earth, but the longer ones hurt much worse. Talking to someone for, three or more months is a big chunk of your time. Not saying it is been wasted but it sure was not a fun ending.

Do not say it if you do not mean it

I think the worst part is when they act like they are catching feelings as fast as you are. If they are not acting, then why a few days later, do their minds change so quickly?

I will not change for anyone

You feel like maybe you need to dress differently or change the way you look just to see if it makes them stay. DO NOT. This ends up being harder on yourself. You do not need to change for anyone, just watch them walk too.

If this is you, again I am sorry. I hope one-day things will change and this will not be such a fad.

You are worth it.

Do not think you are not.

He will come one of these days, and he will not even dream of leaving.

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.
