STOP HAUNTING ME

You don’t own me, I am not your property, and now I am definitely not your friend.

STOP HAUNTING ME

I guess it wasn't enough. I had to cut you out of my life because you are, in fact, a toxic person. I could write a mile long list of reasons why I can't be associated with you anymore and I have only known you for two years. The thing is, you need to realize that we can never be friends again. You treated me like shit, but you will never believe that you did. People like you can't admit to themselves that they did something wrong. You lie to yourself until you believe that your lies are true, and that's a serious issue. You continue to reminisce on the past, and on our non-existent "friendship". You constantly try to bring up old memories of when we had fun together to try and lure me back in, that worked a few times, but now I am over it.

You can continue to tell yourself that everything you did is okay and normal, that doesn’t affect me. What does affect me is the fact that you are continuing to force the renewal of our friendship. I try and respect everyone I have crossed paths with, and I always will. So out of respect, I am letting you know that, no matter what, our friendship won’t work because you will never change. I am letting you be the way you want to be, so I can be the way I want to be. Not everyone enjoys having a drama filled life where they live in a constant reality TV show. I enjoy being able to wake up in the morning knowing that I don’t have to worry about when I will be dragged into situations that I honestly don’t care about. I enjoy being able to tell the few friends I have “no” and them being okay with it. I also enjoy not having to always be on someone else’s schedule just because they want it their way all the time.


I honestly hope someday you are able to realize what it means to be a true friend. Being friends with someone shouldn’t feel like you are being held down and controlled. Friends add positivity and love to your life, not negativity and burden. Being someone’s friend isn’t all about you being entertained and complimented, it’s about what you have to offer for someone else and what they give back. Friends help each other become better versions of themselves and gain self confidence. Until you figure out how to be a true, genuine, person and friend, I can’t associate myself with you. You don’t own me, I am not your property, and now I am definitely not your friend.

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.
