I don't envy you, in fact I feel sorry for you.

An Open Letter To My Ex's New Girlfriend
Total Sorority Move

After you and I broke up, I watched as you jumped right into a new relationship. Little did I know that relationship had started while my we were together, but at the time I didn't know this. I thought my you were perfect and I and I realize I held you to too high of a standard. I saw you as if you were on a pedestal so when I found out you had a new girlfriend, I was envious of her. I was jealous and I felt as if she had taken my place. In a sense she did take my place, but if I knew that you were cheating on me, I would have gladly given her my place any day.

No girl wants to feel like a guy’s second choice and no girl wants to feel like she isn't good enough. For a while after we broke up you made me feel that way. Worthless and numb I walked around for weeks and months pretending I was okay until it finally hit me; I was perfectly okay without you in my life. Actually I was better than okay because I deserve a lot better and I realized that. I was envious of the new girlfriend and now I just feel sorry for her.

As a woman, stealing another woman's boyfriend is just not classy. Because I didn't know about your part in the break-up, I was okay with you as his new girlfriend. But knowing that you lured him away shows just who you really are. It also shows who he is too and if you think you deserve someone who cheated on his past girlfriend of three years, then honey please know you deserve a lot more than him. You might be a cheater right along with him, but know you deserve more than someone who was willing to cheat on his last girlfriend.

I was jealous of you because for a while I thought so highly of him. For months I still wanted to be with him even after I learned about him cheating. But now I feel sorry for you because you obviously feel like I felt. You see him as if he is perfect and as I learned, he is very good at tricking people. He will steal your family’s heart and yours as well. Just when you think everything is good, he will up and leave. Because a man who was willing to cheat before will always be capable of doing it again whether you want to believe it or not.

Lastly I don't envy you because I I don't ever have to wonder about him anymore. You will and probably do wonder if he still has feelings since he moved on so fast. That doubt in your mind will come to ruin your relationship, and I do not envy you for having that doubt. But I also don't blame you for feeling that way. You are constantly going to think about what he is feeling and if his feelings for you are fading. You are going to wonder if there is another girl, because you were the other girl.

No longer do I envy you and having that weight off my shoulders is the best feeling. Now I feel sorry for you because I know who you are with and what he is capable. From one girl to another, I wouldn't want my worst enemy to have to be with him and fall for him. I missed him for a while, but now I am happy he has found someone new because I never have to wonder about him or deal with him 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.
