The Girl Who's Always Number 2

Sorry that we aren't good enough.

The Girl Who's Always Number 2
Kurld

He said he didn't want anything more...he was too hurt from the person before..he got his heart broken and he promised himself never again..nothing was going to change his mind no matter how witty or charming you are.

Makes sense...I could relate and felt the same way..the anxiety of a significant other going out to a party with lots of pretty girls who are dressed in something so tight they can barely breathe on top of having a lonely heart. When you care about someone so much and you put them before you, it can get dangerous and you can lose your complete sense of self.

So they flirt with your person and that either makes you two stronger or destroys you.I t either shows you trust each other or it shows you don't...and if you don't..well I'm sorry, things just got harder.

So when someone tells me they're scared..I believe them. Having someone look at you point out all your flaws and leave is the worst feeling. I wouldn't wish that on anyone in this entire world.

But being scared isn't an excuse..if they really wanted you..they would make it happen. The things I notice with guys is that they fall first... but us girls try to act so cold and tough as if they can't hurt or touch us because of the fact that we as well have been hurt before..so amaze us, show us why I should invest my time into you. But girls..we fall harder, so we hurt more in the end. Those of us who speak up too loud, and refuse to settle for less..well we get hurt even more.

And it's not because something is wrong with us, it's because we are the girls they could see more than a few years with...the real deal.

That's what I'm choosing to believe after watching myself get deleted and blocked because I didn't want to wait for such an unsure thing..I know who I am and I care deeply and I want nothing less back. Sorry. I always look back and think well maybe if I didn't have standards and I didn't have to look so hard. Sorry that I'm not #1.

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.
