To The Girl Stuck In A Toxic Relationship

It's time to let go.

To The Girl Stuck In A Toxic Relationship
Julian Miles

Believe me when I say I know it's hard to let go. You feel like they're the one, like they're the only person for you, and you believe them when they say they love you. You're certain you need a man like him, and though you're trying so hard, it never seems to be enough for him. Maybe you left him once or twice, or maybe he left you, but you still find yourself going right back. His number is impossible to block, and his love is all you crave. You feel empty when he's gone, and you struggle to find the strength to leave him, or maybe you don't want to leave him.

Maybe the thought of losing him is enough to break your heart, but what do you lose trying to keep him? How many nights has he left you feeling worthless? How many sleepless nights have you spent wishing he was there? How many times have you yearned for his warm embrace when the world hurts too much, but he just couldn't be bothered? How long will you let him chip away at your golden mind before you decide enough is enough. You are so much more than his opinions of you. You are not a failure without him. Your with is not defined by his absence or presence.

Is it really love he's showing you when he shuts you out? Is it really love when he's constantly cheating on you? Is it really love when he belittles you? Is it love if he won't commit? Is it love when he leaves you to cry over words he screamed into your face?

You are so much more than what he tells you you are. You are worthy of love, the kind that cares, the sort of love that shines with kindness, the kind of love that has more laughter than heartache, and the kind of love that doesn't hurt. Stop trying so hard to be worthy of his love, and allow yourself the opportunity to find someone worthy of 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.
