I'm No Longer Your Tinkerbell

To the Peter Pan in my past, your absence showed me I can be anything I dream of.

I'm No Longer Your Tinkerbell

We can call this a love story, but really it was a life lesson. It taught me what I deserve. It taught me that nothing was wrong with my expectations.

I spent too much of my time being your Tinkerbell. I would do anything for you, including sacrificing myself to be there for you. I was at your every call. I would fill with angry and jealously watching you give other girls the attention that I deserve. (Which now I know it was because I wasn’t of any significance to you.)

I ask myself “why?”. Why did I sit back and feel caged? The answer was I was willing to do anything to be able to fly with you. I wanted the adventure and the thrill of experiencing life with you. When in reality I can fly on my own. For I have my own set of wings, that I did not believe in myself enough to experience.

For you were Peter Pan and I expected too much from someone who didn’t think of anyone but themselves. You were on a mission to do life with you in mind. You weren’t willing to think of others or enjoy life with someone else. For you were stuck in Neverland and unwilling to grow up. You couldn’t and wouldn’t do life without the rest of your “lost boys”.

If it wasn’t chasing an adventure it wasn’t in your plan. For I, wanted something stable and that wasn’t in your plan. You lived life day by day, without any plan of the future. I went along with it, and waiting for the minute that you decided we could converse.

I’ve learned that there is so much to life when you realize your self worth. You can do anything you want if you believe in yourself. I believed in others the way I should of believed in myself. In the end, I learned that I was capable of anything as long as I escaped from Neverland.

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.
