You don't destroy the people that you love.

Dear you,

I could refer to you as a variety of self-inflicting names: “loser, jerk, low life, cheater”.Out of respect, I will avoid doing so.If you haven’t figured it out yet, you’re not exactly at the top of my “favorite people” list and quite frankly, you never were.Your hurtful actions have created conflict in my best friend’s life; you’ve hurt her emotionally in more ways than I can count.

With every chance that she gave you, she slept further and further away from her true self and into the vicious clasp of your wrath.

She would be gleaming with excitement to have you come visit her at school, but you would never show.I caught the change in her voice, the dark bags below her brown eyes.I noticed how she stopped taking such good care of herself; she was focusing on the health of her family. She was dying inside, and you were the culprit.

So tell me, how was it staying up with her all hours of the night while she was crying? Are you in disbelief? What was her reaction to all of your surprises? I’m not referring to the screen shot of you messaging other girls either. What she was going through, I was going through it all with her. Her sadness was my sadness, her happiness with my happiness.

I will never agree that she, one of the most caring people that I know, ever deserved what you put her through. I resent you for hindering her perception of love. She never deserved to feel like she was burdening you when she was looking for your encouragement after a long day.

Your malicious actions will not go unpunished. I full heartedly promise that karma will find you and consume the deepest part of your soul. She will continue to rise and shine without you around to weigh her down.

My best friend is an intelligent young woman with a bright future and a big heart.You took advantage of her forgivingness and her ability to put everyone before herself.Someday, a great man will treat her how she deserves, with deep admiration and great appreciation.

My best friend deserves a guy who looks at her confidently.
My best friend deserves a guy who will speak highly of her for her intelligence and beauty.
My best friend deserves a guy who can grow with her and support her ambitions.
My best friend deserves a guy who boasts and brags about her.
My best friend deserves a guy who wants her and only her.

She’s always been out of your league anyways. Oh, and if you’re wondering how she’s doing, she’s great.

Sincerely,
Your ex-girlfriend's bestfriend

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.
