How You Made Me Realize I Deserved Better Than Our 'Relationship'
Nikki Beverage

Have you ever met someone and the second you met them you instantly were hooked on them? Every word they said, everything they did - it just seemed to bring out a different side of you. You were that person to me. You came into my life and made me realize that everything I had been looking negatively on, I didn't have to anymore - because you had me convinced you were there for me through everything and I loved the feeling that comfort gave me. You gave me a feeling of security and caring that I hadn't had in a while, and you gave off an honest vibe, which I learned later I was completely wrong about.

You came in and completely changed my world, you changed my outlooks on everything and I don't think you even realize the impact you had on my life. You changed my view on relationships, and now I don't know if it was for the better or for worse. At one time you had convinced me to be a believer in love again, and after our story played out, I don't know if it's so true. You treated me better than anyone ever has treated me, until you just didn't. It's like you flipped a switch one day and chose to forget all about me.

I let you come into my life, I told you stories, showed you places and things that I haven't shown anyone. I cared about you in a way I've never cared about anyone else and listened to every word that ever came out of your mouth. I tried to so hard to "fix" us when things went wrong, but things never got any better because you never wanted them to get better, you just didn't want to feel bad about yourself when you went to bed at night. I let myself become so vulnerable to you, and you didn't deserve it.

I was there for you whenever you wanted to vent about something, I was understanding about things that I should've questioned more - because things I see now, you weren't honest with me at all, I was the girlfriend you described wanting all of your life - but yet it wasn't enough for you. You didn't deserve any of it, but yet I still tried.

Never again will I put myself on a level to care about you like I once did, and never again will I let myself be taken advantage of by someone who doesn't appreciate me as a person. I will never in my lifetime stay silent about something, or someone that is bothering me again because my trust in you was too high. You did not respect me in a relationship, and that's a personal issue.

Contrary to what you might think after reading this, I don't think you're a bad person. I've truly seen the good in you when it comes to your family and people who you actually consider to be friends. Relationships just aren't your strong suit, and that is something you have to work on if you ever want one to work out like you claim you do. What I hope you gain from this is how you hurt me, and you'll never be able to mend the hurt that has been caused from this - but to learn from your mistakes and try to do better next time. Don't ever treat someone else like you've treated me.

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.
