Snapchat Stories Will Change Your Perspective On A Breakup
Summer Edwards

You said you loved me. You said you saw a future with us together. You said that I was your one. Look at us now. Now we don't talk. The only reason I know what you are doing is because of your Snapchat Story.

You don't know what I’m thinking or what I’m doing, mostly because we aren't friends on Snapchat. You don't know if I’m dating or if I miss you. We went from sharing one world to not even being in the same universe. We shared holidays and birthdays to not even sharing one word with each other. I didn't want it. I wouldn't say I was blindsided by it, but I didn't expect our breakup to ever happen. I saw us growing old together. I saw us having a family, having kids and a dog, having Christmases together and being happy together. I saw us graduating together and going to formals and dressing up and looking nice together. I guess you didn't see that.

I’m not saying this is all your fault. I’ll share some of the blame. I do miss you, sometimes. I do wish I knew what you were doing, and not because of your Snapchat Stories. I wish I knew if you were healthy or not. I wish you the best. I want to share my thoughts with you. There are a lot of things I want to do with you that will never happen.

When we broke up, you gave me a hug goodbye. I was baffled, after all, that we have been through, how can you just hug me and walk away? I ask myself why did I let you walk away? Why didn't I fight to make you stay? Why didn't I try a little harder when we were struggling? Or did I try my best and it just wasn't meant to be? Did God have you walk those five steps down my stairs and then ten more to your car? Did God have me slam the door and then make my roommate go get ice cream with me while she listened to me cry and curse your name and try and stay positive? I think God did. I think he was trying to give me a sign. A sign that I’m stronger than I ever thought I was with you. A sign that I’m OK on my own.

But still, you said you loved me... How can you hurt someone that you love? You said we would still be friends and now we just watch each other's Snapchat Stories and hope the other one doesn't notice that we do. I know it is for the best. I know that I am happier looking at your Snapchat Stories than when I was with you. I am reminded that we are better apart when I watch your Snapchat Stories. I no longer miss you. I no longer watch your Snapchat Stories to know what you are doing, but to get them out of my way so I can watch others. That is what you are now to me.

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.
