After, he left I never thought I would actually be okay. I thought the pain would last and that I would never get over him leaving, after all he abandoned me. It hurt in fact it ripped me apart in ways I thought nobody could. 

However, the complete opposite happened. Him leaving me made me see how toxic he was. I never realized how toxic he was because I confused it with love. And I am sure he did love me, but his love was toxic. See I never really have been the easiest person I am someone who never holds back. He tried to water me down into someone I wasn’t and because I loved him I allowed it. Day by day I let him water me down until there wasn’t anything left to me.  

After he left I kept questioning what was wrong with me and I realized it wasn’t me. Until I realized in trying to mold me into what he needed I became blind to what he was. A broken angry man . Life had not gone his way at all and it ate at him and he became something he was not .. cold. Because of him leaving I now know my worth because of him I am in love with myself. I will never hate that man and truthfully I will always have love for him and pray that one day he finds what is looking for. Most of all I forgive him for leaving me. I forgive him for myself so I don‘t hold on to that pain. 

Ladies listen if you are in a relationship and you feel like you are comprimising yourself too much then the truth is you are. You should not have to comprise yourself to someone you are not. If he is not willing to accept you then he is not for you. Do not hold on to something that you want if it makes you a lesser version of you. Most of all forgive the man who abandoned you do not let him continue to drag you down.

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.
