When You Hate Your Ex

Instead of holding onto this hatred, thank him for giving you every reason to finally walk away.

You hate him.

You hate the person he made you become and for trying to make you into the person he always wanted you to be.

For years, you fought to be someone you weren’t for him and, after all this time, you have finally realized that all of this wasn't your fault.

It was his.

At such a young age, he took away your innocence and self-love. He never gave you time to fully develop the person you really were, and because of him, you’ll never be given that time back.

He ruined your past, but you promised yourself you will never let him touch your future.

He gave you every reason to hate yourself, and he was fantastic at pointing out every single flaw you had. He caught you at your worst and shut you down for even hesitating to show any type of emotion.

He made you bottle up years of emotions that filled your body with hatred and anxiety.

Because of him, you thought you’d never see the light at the end of the tunnel. You actually felt like this was the love you deserved and the way you would forever be treated.

But really, no one ever deserves to be treated like that.

I hope you know this is all his fault, but there is probably no one you hate more right now then yourself.

You hate yourself for letting it get this far and for letting him have full control over you. I know you wish you never believe a word that came out of his mouth and should have listened when others said to leave. You wish you never let him become so comfortable.

So let this be your closure. Here’s the goodbye and everything you've always wanted to say to him.

Realize that with becoming this new and better person comes with letting him go completely.

Instead of holding onto this hatred, thank him for giving you every reason to finally walk away.

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.
