Open Letter To The One That Got Away

Dear You,

Who are you? Are you still the person who thought he had the world at his feet, or are you the person who promised me the world? You choose. Actually, no. You chose.

It's like one day you just disappeared and left no trace of what you used to be to me. You chose to go back to being as empty as you were before we met. It's truly sad to see everything we build ourselves upon is now just irrelevant. The plans, the dreams, the hopes. They all seem to think it was always a joke to you and quite frankly I'm starting to think we were a joke too.

It seems like leaving was a choice you made overnight. Like you woke up one morning and decided to go back to your old self, asking me to forget how used to having you I was. It's kind of like punching me in the face, but I'll try to think of it as a punch with a soft boxing glove. Because I don't know what to do or what to say anymore. You have time for everything except for at least wondering if I'm still alive. We went from talking all day every day to not saying a word like it is that easy to just cut off someone out of my life. I keep blaming it on myself because you're going around living your life so calmly like none of this ever meant a thing.

I was good to you. I loved you the exact way I've always wanted to be loved and it was the last thing that I felt confidently good at. But it's okay. I don't know if I will ever be able to thank you for being everything and nothing at once. It makes no sense. But I'm done. I truly wish you the best and I hope from the bottom of my heart that life gives you whatever you need to fill your emptiness.

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.
