An Open Letter To The One That Broke My Heart

Hi there,

It's me. You know, that girl who was in love with you a while back? Key word: was. You, my friend, caused a lot of damage. The amount of times I cried over you is unacceptable. I changed what I wanted out of life because I thought we were going to be together forever. You were my first real love and now I know how naive I was to think we were going to last. Not only did you cause me to lie to some of my closest friends, but you also made me question who I am as a person. You wanted me to give up so much for you, but receive nothing in return. That doesn't sound too fair now does it?

I was always there for you whenever you needed. I tried my absolute best to pick you up when you were down. I tried to make you feel like you were on top of the world again. But when I needed you, you went ahead and did the worst possible thing you could do. I tried to forget about it and forgive you. After I did, I regretted it everyday. My friends questioned me about it. It kept me up at night, and sometimes it still does. I wish I never forgave you and ended everything right there, but for some reason that is still a mystery to me, I just couldn't do it.

The only part that's worse is that I even think about you still. It's probably because I never got a real chance to yell at you for everything you did to me. I never got the chance to really make you realize how bad our situation was. Texting someone when you're mad at them and want to talk isn't the best or most mature way, to handle what was happening. But, that's what you wanted to do. That is how you wanted to discuss why we hadn't been talking for days on end. And that is one of the many reasons why I ended what we had. You barely even fought, not that I really wanted you to, but the thought of it is nice. This is probably why every fiber of my being gets filled with rage, when I think about having to stand in the same room as you for more than five minutes.

I could call you a piece of s***. I could call you a total waste of my time, effort, and money. Because you were. But instead, I'm going to thank you.

So, thank you. Thank you for making it hard for me to judge what someone's true feelings are. Thank you for giving me a new set of standards that are higher than ever. Thank you for helping me realize that my decision to pick my friends over you was a good one. And last but not least, thank you for letting me know that yes, my mother will always be right about everything, even when I don't want her to be.

Sincerely,

Me

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.
