The Worst Parts Of Missing Someone

It's bittersweet and definitely not a bad thing all the time. But it hurts. I know it does.

The Worst Parts Of Missing Someone

This has been on my mind, so maybe you'll relate too.

Missing someone is such a happy-sad feeling. It strengthens and humbles you in ways you won't even notice within yourself. Not a lot of people think deeply about this, so here I am bringing it to your attention.

I think the worst part about missing someone is having that strong connection taken away from you. It's an empty feeling. Your body and emotions know when a person is supposed to be around you. It's like this overwhelming feeling of happiness. Your soul gravitates toward their energy.

No one likes to have anything taken away from them that makes them feel whole inside. It doesn't make sense to me why these things happen to people. I don't know why certain people who you think are supposed to stay…..don't. Bad timing my ass.

I think the worst part about missing someone is pretending you don't. Keeping busy within your day to avoid the moments alone with your thoughts. Having to create another life that they were never in. Catching yourself up late listening to every song that makes you eager to pick up the phone and call, but having the strength to somehow put it down.

I think the worst part about missing someone is reminiscing. It's easier to make up things in your head to make you hate them, unfollow them of every social media, delete their number, but it won't help you forget. Memories of time taken for granted that went too fast. Time flies when you're with a person that makes you forget about it.

I think the worst part about missing someone is accepting that you do, even if they don't. We can't control our feelings or choose who we miss and don't, but we can come to terms with those feelings to help us move along.

Having a broken heart means it had the chance to love and missing someone isn't easy, but it doesn't mean it's forever.

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.
