An Open Letter To The Boy Who Thinks We're Something That We're Not

This is for all that we owe each other, from a thank you to an apology.

An Open Letter To The Boy Who Thinks We're Something That We're Not

Dear person whose names gets me excited for all the wrong reasons,

Let this be right straight to the point. This is how we've always been anyway. You said I hurt you and was unfair to you when I refused to give you a chance. This was when I decided to let it all out in words, because I never broke your heart. I never had a place in it, to begin with. You listened to your thoughts instead of listening to me. You believed the scenarios you created instead of believing me. You were forcing me to be someone that I'm not just to fit your made up image. However, I couldn't. I couldn't be tamed or forced into someone that I'm not.

You texted me almost every night not knowing the fact that I only answered because I was too polite not to. You were too nice that you made it hard for me to stop, even when I asked you not to talk to me again. You said you wanted to be more than just friends. You tried to get into my head in every possible way. Yes, I was lenient, and for this I think I owe you an apology. I'm sorry I didn't make it clear since day one that I want more than you were willing to offer. I wanted more than just a hookup. I'm sorry I confused my politeness with flirting leaving you lost in the process. I'm sorry for leading you on when I was trying to be a good friend, just a good friend. I'm sorry for every time I called you cheesy or creepy. I know I did a lot!

This article is hugely inspired by a Demi Lovato song called Something that we're not. The song made me realize I'm the one who should end this. The first time I listened to it, it hit me hard. If you've never listened to the song before, then here is what you should probably know:

Don't introduce me to any of your friends.

Delete my number, don't call me again.

We had some fun, but now it's gonna end.

But you always made it hard for me to stop.

Now you always think we're something that we're not.

I know this is how I want to end it. I'm in peace enough with my mind now to let you know that I'm ready to end it this way. End it easily and sweetly, because it never started in the first place. At least in real life. We never had a thing in real life.

Best Wishes,

The girl you thought is the one, but she's not.

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.
