I Miss You, But I Don't Need You

A wonderful realization.

I Miss You, But I Don't Need You
Give Me The Break

I miss you.

I miss the days we used to spend talking.

I miss the way I used to know you so well.

I miss your hair and the way it curled around your face.

I miss the comfort of your arms around me.

I miss your deep brown eyes and they way they used to look into mine.

I miss your hands and the way they fit into mine perfectly.

I miss the way my heart skipped a beat when your name popped up on my phone.

I miss your obnoxious laugh and the way it wasn’t obnoxious when you were happy; a laugh I could listen to forever.

I miss the way you talk and the words you say.

I miss the nights we used to stay up talking and laughing; complete with just each other’s company.

I miss the way you used to say my name.

I miss the butterflies I would get when you walked into a room.

I miss the way I would smell like you whenever you left.

I miss the way you would brush my hair back behind my ear.

I miss your smile and the way your face lit up when you were talking about something you loved.

I miss the way your voice sounded when you first woke up.

I miss the way people knew us.

I miss you, but you’re not what I need anymore.

I don’t need sleepless nights wondering what I did wrong.

I don’t need the tears you bring me, when I never cry.

I don’t need you to ignore me when I see you at a party.

I don't need someone who tells my secrets to his buddies.

I don't need to put someone as my number one priority when I barely make their top five.

I don’t need to apologize for getting mad when you screw up.

I don't need the pounding in my chest when I hear your voice now.

I don’t need to hear from your friends that you are doing just fine without me.

I don’t need that gut wrenching feeling when I see you around or even hear your name.

I don’t need to be yours only when it's okay with you.

I don't need to hear that I never mattered.

I don't need a guy who won't acknowledge me in front of his friends.

I don't need to be taken advantage of, when you know I would do anything for you.

I don’t need to sit around waiting for you to text me back when we both know you aren't going to.

I don’t need to obsess over why she is any better than I am, because she’s not.

I don’t need you to make me feel like a half a person, like I am never good enough.

I don’t need to spend all my energy on you when I get nothing in return.

I don’t need the pit in my stomach when I see you with another girl, no one should be able to control me like that.

I don’t need you in my life; I never did.

Yes, I miss you like hell, but I damn sure don’t need 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.
