An Open Letter To My Boyfriend's Ex-Girlfriend

I have been heartbroken, and I would not wish that pain upon my worst enemy. I want you to realize that I did not mean to hurt you any worse. I think of you often. I see pictures of you every now and then in his room and notes that you left him in his truck. He could deny it all he wants, but I know he still cares about you -- and that's okay. Some people will always hold a special place in my heart, and I can't expect him to be any different. I don't have anything against you; if anything I'm a little apprehensive. When I find notes that he wrote to you, I see how much he loved you and how much he thought of you. I know it hurt terribly when he moved on and probably reopened some wounds you thought had healed, but please know it was never my intention to cause you any more pain.

Most current girlfriends have a lot against their significant other's ex. But why? I didn't even know who he was when you two were together. Although things didn't work out between you two, I know that y'all will always have a connection. He will hold onto memories that I simply cannot replace. I'm sure he still knows your phone number by heart. I'm certain he'll feel a little funny on your anniversary for a while. He probably wears things that you bought him all the time. But I've come to peace with all of this. It's something that is dealt with in almost every relationship, most just don't speak on it.

I know it's hard not only being apart from him after so long but his family as well. I understand that you may want to continue to have a relationship with them, and I am not opposed to that. You were a part of his family for years, and there's no reason for you to break all ties because you two aren't together anymore. I realize that you may not be comfortable with continuing your relationship with them now, but if the time comes that you realize you want to see them again, please don't hesitate. I'm sorry for being "that girl"... I truly am. Some may think I'm crazy for apologizing, but I've been in your shoes; I remember the pain. I just want you to know from the bottom of my heart, that I sincerely hope you find love. I hope your wounds heal, and I truly hope you're happy. If you're not quite yet, I wish you utter and complete happiness in the future.

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.
