An Open Letter to a Person I Once Had Feelings For

Dear Person,

I just want you to know if you were to talk to me right now I wouldn't know how to make conversation. I never really made my feelings clear because you are so flighty. I didn't want to open that can of worms either. It's okay though, I just sit back and watch you make mistake after mistake while you keep getting your heart broke and I'm sitting over here with a glass of wine internally laughing at you in my head. Because vocalizing my opinions wouldn't be the best decision.

There were times I wanted you to understand how I felt, but being the bigger person (which was difficult, I might add) makes me look mature. I hope getting your heart totally destroyed time and time again is worth it.I hope the tears are worth it because I wasted a lot on you. I've been there and done that, and I'll never go back. You're the reason I don't believe in love and that I have my walls higher than they have ever been.

I also want to make this clear onto why you can't find someone and why you are in the position I was. You are looking for someone who you think likes you back, only to find out that they lead you on. Sucks doesn't it? Another thing, you believe you can convenience them you're the one that they should be with. Truth is you really can't. That however makes you look extremely desperate, but it's okay keep going. I'll keep the jokes flowing.

Another thing I find comical is that when I have someone else you act like you're a jealous three year-old. Really? And I act immature? Yeaaah...suuure. I'm so sorry that I don't want to pay attention to you anymore. You thought it was annoying and clingy when I did, so why would I want to be told that again? I will never ever pay you a single ounce of my time ever again and if you throw a hissy fit then that's your choice. I won't stop you. You are replaceable and don't act like your not. I did replace you; I don't regret it.

I have learned how you got what you want through manipulation. Guilt tripping me, really? You think that's the best way to get what you want. You thought it would work didn't you. I bet you didn't realize I would eventually say NO because I could. Because I didn't feel comfortable.At first, I would do anything for you, as I became more independent you didn't like that. Eventually, I said no and you got mad at me for not doing what you wanted, but what I wanted.

But if there is anything you have taught me it's this; I never want to go through heartbreak ever again. I know when I'm being led on and I know how to let them go. I have learned how guys like you act and how you think like. I've picked up on your manipulation tactics. A little bit of jealousy is okay, but extreme jealousy is out of line. Thank you for making me a stronger and much wiser individual.


Sincerely,

Someone who will never be put in this position.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
