A Letter To My First Boyfriend

Why didn't you just tell me?

Dear You,

We were both young when we met. I didn't like you, boyfriend wise, till I heard you sing. You knew music was the fastest way to my heart and you proved to me everyday that I was deserving of love. That was, until you proved you weren't deserving of my love.

I never doubted you liked me. We'd been friends for a while. You taught me to love even if the love I was receiving was fake, but I didn't see it till I fell too far for you. There are a lot of words to describe exactly what you did but I, to this day, haven't found a word perfect enough to describe the way you hurt me.

During our courtship, we bonded. We had movie marathons with my best friend and I let you see a side of me that I honestly didn't know existed. You brought out the blushing and butterflies in me that I didn't know I had. You brought me thousands of feelings a girl of 15 shouldn't have to deal with from a boy who was just using her.

Using me as a cover was one thing but being dropped on my butt for my own little brother was just cruel. I spent two months trying to do everything to get you to kiss me or hold me the way I saw in romantic films but that was just horrendous.

I was horrified. But now, I'm not. Now I understand why you did what you did. I will never condone what you did but I get it. He wouldn't have gone with you so you made the decision to use me to get to him. I used to hold a lot of hate for you in my heart but you were a confused, young, teenage boy. Nobody around you taught you what to do in that situation and for that I apologize.

One day I'll be able to look at you without being disgusted about what I loved about you. One day I'll learn that you were in love with someone, but it wasn't me and I'll be happy for you. I'll be able to walk into a room you are in and see that you don't hate me, but until that day, here is some advice; don't you ever make a girl fall head over heels for you when you're really looking to get with her brother.

Sincerely,

The girl who's heart you put in a blender on puree mode.

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.
