Dear Mistresses,

Why? Please explain to me because I honestly don’t understand. I try to make excuses for you; I just can’t wrap my mind around why? Why can’t you just get your own man? Why do you have to go around breaking hearts? If your feeling lonely find a man who is single. Why shove a girl through the whole process of thinking she isn’t good enough? She is.You’re just too slimy and disgusting to face the facts. If there is another girl in the picture: let him go. It really isn’t that complicated. If you don’t care that he isn't faithful to one girl, you shouldn't have a problem breaking up with him. Let him go.

Do we not have standards anymore? Do we women not respect ourselves enough to demand a man who is faithful? I just don't understand it. What woman grows up dreaming of being one of a man's many options? You could be her. The man you have remained faithful to, chose someone else over you. You could be crying on the bathroom floor. You could find her lipstick stain on his white shirt, wondering where you went wrong. Home-wrecker.

Do you think you'll think you'll get away with it? Do you honestly believe she won't find out? Is it worth the risk? You probably weren't thinking at all. You thought about how nice it felt to have a man who was interested in you. You thought about how exciting it was to meet with him in secret, like teenagers. You took advantage of love. They say love is pain, but really love is beautiful you were the one to make love painful.

Love should be flowers on a Sunday morning. Love should be valuing your partner over everything (like his wife at home). Love should be faithful actions instead of meaningless words. As H. Jackson Brown Jr. said, "Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own," (like wrecking his relationship for your Friday night fling). Love is loyalty through good and bad times.

Love isn't sneaking around. Love isn't lying. Love isn't disloyal. Love doesn't give you the right to break someone into little pieces to step on and crush with your selfish ego. Love isn't perfect, but it does accept a person's imperfections and remains faithful.

Don't be a home-wrecker. Don't take advantage of love; side chicks are never first. Don't make love painful; let lovers marvel at it's beauty. The bottom line is: Be a good person. Do what is right. I know you have a brain. Use it.

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.
