It seems that nowadays, everyone is trying to forget someone, but I don't ever want to forget you.

An Open Letter To My Ex
A Girl Like Me

How you deal with a break up totally depends on the relationship you were in and who you are as a person. Sometimes you're happy to be broken up because it was a toxic relationship, but then there are times when you can't seem to let go. They always say, "I still want to be friends," but that rarely ever works out. The hardest part of a break up is being so close to someone and talking to them everyday and then with time it's been six months and you haven't heard their voice. Sometimes you deal with it by holding it all inside, but you have to let it out sometime, so is there a better way than to write a letter knowing they'll never see it?

Dear Ex,

I saw a picture of us not too long ago and I wish I could say it didn't sting at all, but it did. It's been over six months and the fact that I've lost you completely still makes my heart ache. You were the first person I ever gave my heart to and even though it got crushed in the end, I will forever be grateful that I first gave it to you. We were close before we dated, but even when you drifted away for a time, I waited for you and it was definitely worth it. I fell head over heels for you and I don't regret a second of it.

Looking from a distance, I see that it wasn't meant to be. Maybe it was the timing or maybe it was just us. I'm not sure, but that doesn't mean I'm not thankful. We were good together and I won't ever deny that.

It seems that nowadays, everyone is trying to forget someone, but I don't ever want to forget you.

I don't know what is going to happen in my life nor do I know who I will end up with, but I hope they treat me as well as you did. I don't think I'll ever stop thanking God for our time together and the happiness you gave me. I have to let you go, but you will always be a part of me.

I pray that you're happy wherever you are and that wherever you end up is where you are meant to be. I hope one day a girl comes along and is able to help you and love you. I hope you let her in. Don't ever let a girl make you feel that you aren't good enough because I promise you that you are. I tried my very best to make you feel that you were, but I am sorry if I ever made you feel any less. If she makes you feel less than what you are, walk away. You deserve the world and I hope one day you get it.

Thank you for everything. I wish nothing but the best for you.

Love Always,

Someone In Your Memories

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.
