No, It Has Never Been YOU

I don't know what it is you're believing in, but it sure isn't the truth.

No, It Has Never Been YOU
Faith McDonald

You know how they say, "It's you, it's always been you," well I hate to break it to you dear, but it has NEVER been you. You had his attention for a split second, and I don't know what it is you're believing in, but it sure isn't the truth.

You may think about him, but I can promise you he isn't thinking about you. I know you wait by the phone for a call, a text, anything, but doesn't the waiting get exhausting? Nothing is going to come, I can promise you that. You have some old text messages, while I've got a ring.

Anything you thought you were, was a lie. I could never imagine wanting to be someone's secret something, so I really do pity you for longing for that life. But no matter how sad it is, it isn't going to change until you move on.

You're gorgeous, I'll admit it. You could probably have any man you tried for, the issue though is you want what's MINE and that's the one thing you're not going to get. To quote Mrs. Loretta Lynn, "You ain't woman enough to take my man."

So while you're sitting around waiting for MY future to choose you, he's laying next to me, explaining how little you matter to him. He may have done a double take when he saw you, but I'm the one who has his heart. Move on, find your own happiness, it's out there I promise, but it isn't with the man whose ring I'm wearing.

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.
