We’re just two broken people trying to love again.

It’s hard at times.

When we’re happy, we smile like we’ve never been hurt. We laugh until we've cried real tears.

Trauma doesn't define you.

It only shapes you into the human being you are constantly evolving to become. Although our trauma wasn’t similar, we aren’t worlds apart. We can grow through the experiences we went through, together. I want to build you back up, to the man I know you can be. It’s a wonderful thing when someone is willing to help you love yourself instead of being all about them.

We’re just two broken people.

When we fight, all the personal issues we thought we’ve worked through starts to reveal itself. Our insecurities that were hidden, abruptly rise to the surface. Why does it always end up with someone getting their heart broken?

Maybe it’s because someone always manages to say the wrong thing that sparks more frustration. However, the yelling and shouting eventually immerse into your chest because you pull me into your chest. No matter how hard I squirm in your arms, you hold me tighter. Your rapid heartbeat comes at a normal pace as I shut my eyes. Because I know in that particular moment everything was going to be alright.

Sometimes I hate how well you know me. In some ways, you know me better than I know myself. You know what makes me laugh and you can tell when I'm upset by just the variation of tone when I speak. I can’t help to think that what if you wake up one morning, and you decide that you don’t want to do whatever "this" is anymore? All the conversations, secrets and fears that were exchanged will remain with you, along with a little part of myself.

When the trust is gone, everything else is pointless. It’s clear from the start, a relationship of any kind whether it be a friendship or romantically involved, the foundation was weak from the beginning. In the back of your mind, there will always be a doubt.

But in the end, we know that we’re all in.

Because when we love, we love hard.

We also share the understanding that we’re in this for the long run. Giving up or “Taking a break,” is off the table. If we’re upset, we give each other space but that doesn’t change a damn thing. You’re the missing puzzle piece I’ve been trying to find.

We are just two people, not letting our bad experiences define us.We are like two peas in a pod, We're always here for each other against all odds.

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.
