Moving on

You will find someone better.

25

As hard as it seems right now, I promise you will love again, you will feel genuine happiness again, and you will find your way once more. I promise that you will look at the sunset, and the flowers in the breeze, and smell that smell that used to make you cry and instead of thinking of him, you will think of other things. You will be happy. You will sprout once more.
Try as you might, you'll never be able to get back the girl you were when your heart first decided to love him. That girl was young and naïve. She was full of potential and unending happiness. However, you are a new girl. In fact, you are not a girl anymore, you are a woman. I'm not saying you become cold and calloused after your heart is broken in such a way, but it does take a toll on your emotional health.
Sometimes you just must turn the page to realize there is more to your book of life than the page you're stuck on. Stop being afraid to move on. Close this chapter of hurt and never re-read it again. It's time to get what your life deserves and move on from the things that don't deserve you. Don't spend your days trying to correct your past, instead, let go and let God create something better for your future.
I think when it's all over, it just comes back in flashes you know? It's like a kaleidoscope of memories; it just all comes back. But he never does. I think part of me knew the second I saw him that this would happen. It's not really anything he said, or anything he did- it was the feeling that came along with it. Crazy thing is, I thought I would never feel the same way again. And I was right, I don't feel the same with this new guy. I feel better with him that I was with my last guy. They say the worst part of it all isn't losing him, but it's losing yourself. However, I disagree for if I hadn't lost myself, I would've never found my new guy.
Not everything is supposed to become something beautiful and long-lasting. Sometimes people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself, to make you feel better for a little while, or to just be someone to walk with at night and spill your life to. Not everyone is going to stay forever, and we still must keep on going and thank them for what they've given us.
I know you are probably used to broken promises, but I promise these are true, genuine promises I am giving. I promise a guy will walk into your life unexpectedly. He will flip your world around. He will make you feel so happy you will wonder if you were ever truly happy at all in your last relationship. He will make you feel as though the world is moving in slow motion and as though you are the only two in existence. You will feel those butterflies again, but this time they will be different. You will truly feel like a new person, a better person. I promise you will get better, as I know from experience.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
