Just Because They Love You, Doesn't Mean They'll Stay

I want you to remember that it's not your fault.

When you're sitting alone and the tears come down like Niagara Falls. When you can't eat because food is the last thing on your mind. When you hear a song in the store and try your best to hold it together until you get in the car. When the constant thought in your head is, "What could I have done differently to make him stay?"

I want you to remember that it's not your fault. Yeah, you argued sometimes, but everyone in a relationship does. The thing is, sometimes it's too hard of a road for someone to keep going on. Sometimes they have to take a different route. I want you to remember that it's not the road's fault it's cracked and bumpy. Those cracks don't make it any less of a road. Your flaws don't make you any less of a person.

You can give someone everything you have, but it won't make them stay. You can give and give and give in a relationship, but that's only going to take you so far. They can claim they love you, but it doesn't mean they'll always stay.

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.
