Thank You For Letting Me Go

You completely destroyed me but it was in the destruction that I found myself.

I have been thinking a lot since we last spoke. I couldn't bring myself to message you for a while so I just left things unspoken, I didn't even say goodbye. But it was time that I end this completely.

There was a time that I loved you and thought nothing but good things about you. I thought you were perfect and I thought you would never do me wrong. When things started changing, you acting weird and me pushing you away, I still wanted nothing more than to be with you. But the ENTIRE time we were talking, I felt like I was not enough for you. And there was always someone else in your life that was getting the same attention from you that I was. I just could not handle it. I hated feeling that way. And no matter how many times I told you it was killing me you would just say, "I understand," yet nothing would change. I told you before that the only other guy I had ever loved did the same thing, and you still continued doing it. Still continued hurting me even when you KNEW you were hurting me.

Almost every single day, I would put myself down and I got it through my head that YOU were better off without ME. But it was you who lied, it was you who ruined anything we ever could have had. Because I simply did not trust you. Trust and honesty are the only things I ever asked of you and you couldn't even give me that. This entire "thing" made me absolutely crazy and in turn, I could not make up my mind about us. I thought if I walked away, you would realize that we loved each other too much to let this end..but you let me go without a fight. And that is how this ended.

I am not saying that you are a bad person because you're not. We had some good times, it wasn't all bad. And someday when you get your life together and you grow up a little, you could make someone happy. But that person will not be me. I no longer carry the same love for you that I did before. I still care, but I know that I will be better off without you in my life. We were a disaster, sometimes beautiful, but mostly destructive. And i no longer have it in me to continue fighting for you. I should not even have to.

These past few weeks, I have learned a lot about myself and I am finally in a good place. I know what I want out of life and I am happier and freer than I have ever been. I guess I have you to thank for that. Thank you for breaking my heart, over and over again. Thank you for showing me what I DO NOT want out of a relationship. Thank you for showing me that no matter how much we may care for a person, it does not necessarily mean they have to be a part of our future. And most importantly, Thank you for letting me go.

You completely destroyed me, but it was in the destruction that I found myself.

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.
