I Should Have Listened

Maybe the experts do know what they're talking about.

I Should Have Listened
Church Militant

Everything about you drew me in; your voice, your eyes, your smile. You were a drug I could never get enough of.

Before I met you I felt like my lungs were filled with water and I was slowly drowning but everything changed in an instant.

I knew so much about you in such a short amount of time that it felt like some form of destiny. I had never felt this way about anyone before and at that moment, I never wanted to feel for anyone but you. It was reckless of me to become so attached but I couldn't help myself-- you were ethereal.

I never understood how I could be so lucky to have someone like you in my life, it didn't make sense to me.

You were a beacon of light in my dark place and, together, we could have been earth shattering.

We'll never have the chance to find out what could have been. Everything about you is different now. I don't know you anymore...and I'm not sure I want to. You've changed completely, or maybe, I just didn't see you for what you truly are.

You made so many promises that have been shattered.

You shattered them just like you shattered me. I honestly should have expected it.

You've moved on with your life but I'm still here, stuck in your web of lies. I have so many questions for you that I can't bring myself to ask.

Did any of this mean something to you? Did you lie to me the entire time? Did you ever even care? Or was I just someone you viewed as an easy target?

I'm still putting back the pieces of myself that you broke off and chipped away at, but I will be okay. I don't know when I will be put back together but I want you to know that I will never come back to you. I vow to myself that I will never again allow myself to feel anything towards you.

You broke me and made me doubt everything I had ever known. It makes sense now why you destroyed me, people did always tell me drugs were poisonous.

I should have listened when it came to you.

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.
