Realizing You Deserve So Much Better

Everything changed the moment I realized I deserved so much more.

We all know the tale: guy flirts with girl, he swoons her, she falls head over heels for him and then he breaks her heart. He knows just want to say to make her fall and fall hard, he does all the right things, he's the perfect guy... until he isn't anymore. You are left wondering what happened, no explanation of what went wrong, you are left to pick up the pieces of your broken heart and learn to move on. You eventually move on, you find happiness again and take it day by day.

You probably realized it at 2 a.m. on a Tuesday night, wow I deserved so much better than that. I deserve a man, not a boy, because no man would ever treat me the way that he did. For a long time you probably, thought that you did something to deserve what happened, you maybe thought you weren't good enough, or pretty enough, you just weren't enough.

I have something to let you in on, you are enough, a guy like that will never be happy with what he has. He will never realize what a great person you are, he will never realize that he lost something special in you when he ruined what he had with you.

You need to realize that you deserve so much better than the way some little boy treats you, you deserve the world and you should accept nothing less that what you deserve. I know it's hard to realize that you will never get an explanation of what happened, but there probably isn't one. He may not even know the reason, he just enjoys playing games and after he gets you he loses interest in the person you are. All he is after is the chase, once that's over there is no fun left.

You should not blame yourself, pick yourself up, and move on because he is not worth your tears or time. After a while you will realize that none of it was your fault, you will laugh at how you felt and wonder why you ever fell for him in the first place. He was just a guy who knew what to say but didn't ever mean it truly.

Once you realize that you deserve better, you deserve someone who would do anything for you, you deserve happiness, you will realize that moving on is so much easier.

Don't settle for someone who doesn't respect you, who tries to force you out of your comfort zone, who doesn't realize what you have to offer. You are worthy of so much more than that. Don't let the opinions of someone ruin your happiness. You deserve happiness in all aspects of life and when you realize that you will find happiness. Life is sometimes tough, but we aren't handed things that we can't learn to handle.

So, thank you to that random Tuesday morning when I realized that I deserved so much better and I deserve happiness.

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.
