A Letter To The Man Who Broke My Heart

To the man who wasn't supposed to leave, but did it anyways.

A Letter To The Man Who Broke My Heart
LifeCrust

I know that I already wrote to you, but there are just some more things that I have to say before I can have closure.

I want to ask you why. Why did you decide that you didn't want to be apart of my life anymore? I know that I have made some mistakes but who hasn't made mistakes? I know that I am a difficult person to love, and I always say things that I shouldn't. But at the end of the day, I am your daughter. Whether you like it or not, I will always be your daughter. I am sorry if that upsets you but there is no changing it.

I also want to ask you if you are happy. Are you happy with your decision to not be in my life anymore? I want you to be happy, but I just wish I could be involved with your happiness. I wish you could find it within yourself to forgive me for my faults. Every day I wake up and miss you. It hurts me to think that you are actually happy and content with your life without me in it. But like I said, I want you to be happy. So if you being happy doesn't include me then I'll just have to accept that.

Do you ever think about me? Do you ever think about the times when I was little and we would go out and do things together? Or do you just simply think about the good times? I find it impossible that you do not miss me at all. Or maybe I just like to think it is impossible to not miss your own daughter. Do you ever feel bad for your faults? I know you do not see them as faults, but I do. All of your broken promises, and the times that you said you would follow through and didn't. Thinking about those times still, hurts me to this day. It just baffles me because you weren't supposed to be the one who broke my heart, but you did.

I want you to know that I am doing okay without you. I am keeping my priorities straight. I am doing what I am supposed to. I start college soon, and I am very excited for that. I am being a good role model for my nephew. I am telling you this because you and your new family doubted me. But that's okay because after I got over the hurt and betrayal, it motivated me. It motivated me to become the young woman I am today. So thank you for doubting me.

I also want you to know that all of these things that I am doing well with are not to get your attention. I am doing these things for me so I can succeed in my life. I have learned from the past that regardless of what I do to get your attention, it is still your choice to not be in my life. And that is okay, as long as you are happy.

All these people that love me and care for me, and I still want it to be you.

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.
