To The Woman Who Is Ruining My Life

Sorry, not sorry.

To The Woman Who Is Ruining My Life
Andrea Dawn Tumielewicz

Dear woman who is single-handedly ruining my life,

Not to sound like a cliche, but like Meghan Trainor said, "If I was you, I'd wanna be me too." Honestly, I applaud how vindictive and thorough you are with every action you take. No matter the situation, you plan every move like a real life chess game. Who even has time for that? Clearly, you have way too much time on our hands. You will disappear then like an annoying parasite, you are back. Yay me. The way your brain works is fascinating from a mental-health perspective. Yet, with all the hell you bring me, I am left taking the high road and being a bigger person; no matter how much I would love to stoop to your level, and trust me I would. Unfortunately I have a life, and I understand life is an ongoing battle. But come on, can you give me a break? I might be 19 years old, but I am no longer in high school and the drama is really getting old.

The anger I hold is because there is no stopping you. I feel like a mouse, and you are a cat constantly looking for me to slip up and pounce. Attacking nonstop gets really old whether it is face to face, online or through social media. Say what you want, bash me however you want, but in the end, you are not hurting me. In reality, you are hurting yourself. Honey please, not to honk my own horn, but I have lived through hell and back, so what you are doing is more annoying than hurtful. Woosah, Andi, woosah (if unknown, this is a calming word to help reduce stress).

You are seeking something that I cannot provide, and you are so single minded that you will keep attacking until you receive what you seek. Yet again, I cannot help you. I would say act your age, but I doubt you know how to. There is only so much expectation that can be put upon you.

Breathe. Coffee. Zen (something someone very close to me reminds me of regularly because of you).

There is a definitive line between you and me. Sorry, not sorry. I have busted my butt to be where I am today — a full-time college student with a 3.42 grade point average, working as a substitute teacher, full-time girlfriend and a full-time friend. I won't label what you are because, honestly, I can't wrap my brain around what you are. Well, I feel sorry for you more than anything because you feel the need to live your life like this. I wish I could extend an olive branch to try and help you, but truthfully, you burned that bridge a long time ago. Hold what you would like against me no matter what; I will stand tall and not retaliate because I am a better woman.

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.
