A Letter To The Guy Who Was Good At Pretending

You were so good at pretending, and I was so good at falling for it.

A Letter To The Guy Who Was Good At Pretending
Koko Life

You knew I was broken but you broke me anyways.

I'm not angry anymore. I know the last time we spoke, I seemed angry. I was. I didn't understand why things were going how they were, and to be completely honest, I still don't know what went wrong.

I was happy.

I did what I could to make you happy.

The part that bothers me isn't the fact that you hurt me. It happens, people get hurt all the time. Pain is only temporary.

The part that bothers me is the "Why?" factor.

Why did you decide I wasn't enough?

Why did you decide to hurt me as soon as I let you in?

Even after everything, I still can get past why. Maybe that's just you as a person. The part that scares me is how good you were.

You were so good at pretending. Pretending that you cared. Pretending we'd make it through anything. Pretending you were letting me in. Pretending that you loved me.

It was as though you'd done it before. As though you were a pro at breaking every single thing you touch.

You were so damn good, and it was so damn bad.

Once you came out as who you really were, I knew it was going to end badly.

The insults. Attacking every insecurity I'd told you about.

The lies. Pretending I was your everything when I was nothing.

Your eyes had the glossed over look like you weren't the person I met in the beginning. You were a new person in a matter of a week. And I hate you for it.

You had the power to destroy me, so you did.

And all I want from it all is just an "I'm sorry". I don't want you back, that was ruined. I don't want you to love me, I don't care.

I just want to know, what was so damn bad that I did, for me to deserve it.

Or even to know that I didn't deserve it.

I just hope you can find it in yourself to love another person the way I thought you loved me. I hope you find it in yourself to put your ego aside and love another person the way she deserves to be loved.

Love,

The girl who believed you

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.
