A Letter To My Boyfriend's Ex
huffingtonpost

I'll start by saying that I don't think that you are a bad person by any means. I think that you have made many mistakes in your past that you need to learn from, however. You were once a huge part of my boyfriend's life, and I respect that.

There are parts of him that he learned from you, both good and bad. I understand how difficult it is to let go of someone that you once loved, and that loved you back. I've been there, it's not fun. However, here's the thing. He's not yours anymore for a reason. I'm tired of this game you play everyday hoping that the things you say will somehow tear him away from me. What exactly are you expecting to gain from this? The pain of hurting someone else and pushing your ex further away? Each and everytime your name pops up on his phone, you look more pathetic than you did before. To him and to me.

Move on.

Find the love in someone else that I've found in your ex that you failed to appreciate while it was there. I appreciate him each and everyday. You had your chances, yet you took advantage of the kind person he is instead. A person can only take so much until they walk away. I'm so glad he made that choice. Go be happy on your own, and stop trying to tear what we have apart. You may feel like I am your "replacement", but no, I am simply someone who is better with him than you were. I am not your enemy, nor someone who is with him for the wrong reasons. I promise to make him feel loved everyday, since I hope that's what you would want.

Now go leave him alone and find the love of your life. He is out there, I promise. Move on.

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.
