An Open Letter To The Boy Who Is No Good For Me

I wish I didn't always look to you for approval even when I'm furious with you.

Dear Boy Who's No Good For Me,

Why do I keep going back to you? Why are you still the one I think of during every Taylor Swift song whether it's about how much I love you or how much I hate you? I want to get rid of you but you know what they say, sometimes we want things that we know we shouldn't.

Sometimes, I wish you wanted me as much as I want you. You treat me like I'm disposable, yet every time I leave, you want me back again. The crazy part is that I let you push me away and pull me back in again every single time.

Sometimes, I wish we could have the good times all the time. Because when things are good with you, they're amazing. But then, out of nowhere, things change and you are the opposite of the sweet, caring boy you were before. I wish you could be that boy more often.

Sometimes, I wish I would listen to my friends when they tell me not to go back to you for the millionth time. I hate myself a little bit more every time I tell them, "You don't know him like I do." Sometimes I wish you would spend more time with my friends so they could know you like I do, and not just as the boy that always breaks my heart.

Sometimes, I wish I could spend time with some other boy without comparing him to you. At some point, I have to accept that I will never find another you. Maybe I don't want to.

Sometimes, I wish I could think about my future without thinking about how you fit in to it. I should be able to live out my dreams without having to adjust them to leave room for the hope that you'll be in my life. I wish you weren't the one that I want to share my accomplishments with.

Sometimes, I wish I didn't care about you so much. I wish I didn't know how vulnerable you really are so I wouldn't have to worry so much.

Sometimes, I wish I could hate you for longer than five minutes. I wish I didn't always look to you for approval even when I'm furious with you.

Sometimes, I wish I didn't need you so much. I wish you weren't the person that I want to tell everything and the one I want to spend all my time with. Eventually, you'll either realize that I'm worth your time or I'll realize that you're not worth mine. And in the end, I'd do it all 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.
