An Open Letter To The Boy Who Used Me

You were never even my boyfriend but you still broke my heart.

Hey You,

It’s taken me over three months to figure out all the things that I wish I could say to you so I just decided to write them all down in this letter. I know the chances of you reading this are slim, which is fine; I just needed a way to get this all out.

The first thing I want to ask you is why? Why did you do it?

Why did you feed me all of these bullshit lines about how you liked me and how you couldn’t wait to call me your girlfriend and how I'm so beautiful, when all along you were just using me? You knew I was afraid of getting hurt so why didn’t you just let me go when you had the chance? You strung me along until you got what you wanted and then you threw me away like I was some worthless toy. But I’m not. I am a person. A person who had real feelings for you, ones that you obviously did not return.

I just don't understand why you chose me? Was it because I looked like someone that could be easily fooled? Was it because I'm a very trusting person? I was finally starting to put myself back together after going through a tough time and then you came along and made me fall apart again. You hurt me in a way that I have never been hurt before. And I know we were never "officially" dating or anything like that, but that does not mean that the feelings that I had for you weren't real. Now I know that none of these questions will ever get answered and I'll probably never know why you decided to use me like you did but that's okay because I was finally able to let everything out that I've kept bottled up inside me for the past few months.

But honestly, after thinking this all through, I really want to say thank you. Thank you for showing me that I deserve SO much better. Thank you for showing me that I worth so much more than you thought I was. And most of all, thank you for making me a stronger person. I was a mess after you ended things with me, I honestly was not sure how I was going to get through it, but I did. And I'm a stronger person because of it.

Sincerely,

The Girl You Thought Was A Toy.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
