3 months ago, you took me back.

You believed in us even after I left,

We loved without a care in the world.


3 years ago, I first saw you.

In your dark green shirt, crooked glasses, and curls,

Little did I know you’d become my world.


3 weeks ago, I still loved you.

I still believed that you would come back too,

Losing you took over my whole world.


Maybe time outplayed me,

Maybe it was all a test.

Maybe I’m crazy,

Or maybe we were the best.


You destroyed me:

Knocked me to the ground

And on my knees, I literally begged.


It is said:

Time heals all wounds

and I didn’t believe it

…but now I can see it


3 days ago, I missed you.

I thought back to that last time I kissed you,

how you said we’d still be friends.


You lied.


Today I see it all.

I was the one that saved me that fall…


There’s beauty in this life

And so much to learn.

For you, my heart no longer yearns.


I won’t apologize,

I won’t cry,

because it’s a good thing we said goodbye…

It was a blessing in disguise.


So, while you’re laying there

with her by your side,

I will be holding my head up with pride

going somewhere with my life.


For you I cried,

I tried

I died


Yet in the death of my old self,

A new one has come


I am stronger without you

I am happier without you

I am more confident too…

I know that always intimidated you


I am brand new

So, this is my final goodbye to you.

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.
