Thank You For Walking Away

You chose something that made absolutely no sense, but that means I didn't have to.

You walked away and that meant - that I didn't have to. You took my nephew but he will grow up knowing and hating what you did to him. The same thing your father did to you, you did to yourself. You were once my best friend, once someone I went to for everything. I vented to you, laughed with you, smiled with you and now, because of things you left unsaid, those don't get to happen anymore.

I was hurt, but now I'm over being hurt. I'm more mad and annoyed. After the hours you spent in premature labor. The fact you almost died and him too - you walked away. But let's not forget about the countless times you've walked away before so we knew this was coming. You took the status of being a goddparent away from both of us, for what? To make someone you BARELY knew a caretaker of your child if you were suddenly taken from this world, both you and your boyfriend.

But, I also want to thank you for walking away. You did something I didn't have to do. I already had figured you'd go and that's okay with me. I'm not missing anything important. I will still move forward with my life because I have to and because that's what right. I can't stay in the past. Don't call me if you need something because I refuse to be there for you anymore.

You should of known everything you would of lost. Thank you for making a choice I didn't have to. I'm the bad guy? What about the person who took her son from her family? What about the person who took the choice of godparents away from FOUR people? What kind of a person are you? You must be the glory of God if I'm such a horrible person.

Thank you for walking away. Thank you for choosing the best decision for the both of us - all of us. Thank you for choosing what you thought was right even though it was ridiculous and uncalled for. I'll never understand you and I will never want to.

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.
