We are constantly bombarded with romantic images and life seems splendtasticly magical when in-love. Those types of relationships seem to have such easy connection. That is what we had.

Connections was always easy for us. The moment we started talking led to an eight hour conversation. Nerves were evaporated five minutes in your presence during that first date. It felt as if we'd known each other for years. You had my trust the second Those years spent with you were some of the best memories of my life.

I believe that you were a potential soulmate. Someone who is meant guide me into the next wonderful adventure with the one who will not be afraid to commit. I saw the potential in you for a forever us. But, you were unable to twist potential into reality. You locked your emotions away and at times made me feel worthless.

I came back to you post breakup because I didn't know whom else to turn to. I felt that only you could understand my pain. In us being friends, I still hoped for us getting back together. But, you only wanted me to be your friend and not vice versa.

Thank you for putting me through hell, because it taught me about love, trusting others, and that emotions should not be locked away. You taught me that I don't deserve to be ignored or made to feel less than I am. Thank you for making a fighter out of me.

Part of me feels that if emotional maturity had not been an issue than we would have been perfect for each other. But, I feel in-love with potential and it just didn't work out. That is ok, potential soulmates are meant to prepare us for the one who will always be emotional available.

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.

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.
