A New She

She thought wrong.

She has never had experience with drugs. None of any kind, she thought, but maybe she thought wrong.

She thought he was just a boy. Just someone who came into her life to show her everything she didn't deserve, just someone who treated her in all the wrong ways, just someone who used love as a weapon. She thought wrong.

She never thought that a boy could be so much more than just a boy. She never thought he could be a magnet, pulling and pulling her into his grasp. She never thought he could be a drug, blinding her from the side effects. She never thought he could be so addictive, making withdrawal almost impossible. She thought wrong.

She thought the final split would be easy. Cut it cold turkey, and she'll be fine. Leave no strings attached because that's just a connection making it easy to go back. She thought complete ignorance would be bliss. She thought wrong.

She thought she could come back and not care one bit. She thought he would be out of sight, out of mind. She thought her mind was clean. She thought the magnetic pull was gone. She thought wrong.

She thought maybe her had changed. She thought maybe there was a chance. She thought she could do it again. She thought it would all work out. It was meant to be all along. She thought wrong.

She was hurt again, addicted again, shattered again. No one was there to pick up the pieces except him. He was there building her up just to tear her back down. No one saw it as it was completely hidden. If anyone had known, they wouldn't have helped because originally they all thought right while she thought wrong time and time again.

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.
