A Letter To The Boy Who Broke My Heart

A Letter To The Boy Who Broke My Heart

First of all, I am not writing this letter to get back at you, or to get your attention. I am writing this for me. So I can get the closure I never got from you.

I was always told guys weren't worth it. That I settled for jerks who didn't deserve me and I shouldn't trust them. You know who told me that? You. And you were right.

I remember the day I met you, we became friends right away. As the years went on I became to love you as a person, and eventually my best friend. You were always there for me, and I was there for you. I would laugh when people asked if we were dating because it was like asking if I was dating my brother. Yeah I had thought about it off and on, but you meant too much for me to jeopardize anything. And I needed your friendship more.

Then something changed. We changed. I guess that's what's supposed to happen when you grow up though right? But I changed for the better and you, you became the person you told me not to fall for. A user. A selfish user who somehow convinced me to be with you and fooled me into believing I was the one person you would never hurt.

I had just started college and left you back home. But then you ended up leaving me. And you never looked back. I didn't know I could ever feel so empty. So ashamed and betrayed. So heartbroken. I had never really had my heart broken before. And then it happened by the only guy I trusted in this world. You.

That's the worst part about all of this. I'm used to guys hurting me, that I can handle. But you were my friend. My best friend. You knew about my boy problems, family issues, and personal struggles that no one else knew. Because that's how much I trusted you. That's how much I loved you. I grew to know your friends like my own and you were welcomed by my family. By the way you didn't just hurt me, you hurt my mom. And that is unforgivable.

It's taken over a year (and a lot of Taylor Swift) for me to climb my way back up from how hard you knocked me down. And I'm embarrassed to admit I still think about you way more than I should. But how do you do that? How do you just move on from someone who meant so much to you? Clearly it's possible. You did it.

You will always be the guy who broke the person that loved you the most. And I'm sure I'm not the last girl you will leave feeling this way. And while that's sad, you did it to yourself. And me? I'll be okay eventually. I'll be stronger, happier, and better than i was before I met you. So for that I'd like to say thank you. Even though you don't deserve it.

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.
