To The Guy Who Ignored Me in High School But Keeps Sliding Into My DMs

I tried and you didn't. Now it's too late.

Yes, this is about YOU. You know who you are. Or maybe you don't. Either way, here we are, later down the road and you are constantly messaging me. I see your posts on Instagram and your statuses on Facebook claiming you want a sweet and funny girl. Well, that is me.

Well, not for you now, anyway. You were popular in our class and I could tell that I wasn’t. I would try to strike up a conversation because I never really did agree with the whole “popularity” concept. I would try small chitchat and you would give me small one word answers. To make it worse, you would say something annoying and rude just to get my other classmates to laugh. We have similar personalities. Well, we used to, anyway. The difference is you’re a douche bag and I’m a nice a person. So, I moved on. And the funny thing is, I was not even looking for a relationship per say. I just thought you would be a nice and funny guy to keep around. Now we are in college. We attend the same school but I never see you around much. If I do see you, I will smile but nothing more. That is if you even remember my name.

You started following me on Instagram and eventually, you messaged me on there. The classic “Hey! How are you?” “Good.” “Good. So, when are you going to come see me?”

I’m not… I’m really not.

I told you we don’t know each other and you said you never got the chance to know me. I told you we were in the same high school class. You said you were too nervous and shy to talk to me cause I was so pretty. You didn’t think I was pretty then. I’m sure you think I am now. I believe that. The truth is, I still think you’re cute. I do. I’ve grown up though and I have learned to only accept the best and never settle for less. I’m sorry all your friends left you but I’m not here to fill that gap. I could have been but the door is closed. No, I don’t want to come over and hang out. What would I say? What would you say? I’ve seen your life from statues and posts and I can guarantee you you’re better than that.

I'll say this as a goodbye: I wish you the best, I really do. I’m sorry you didn’t appreciate me in high school but just because you think I’m pretty and cool now doesn’t mean I’m coming back because you have no one else. Truth is, I’ve always been cool and pretty and “down to earth.” You just didn’t stick around to see it.

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.
