Thank You Letter To The Boy Who Ruined Me

Dear you,

I don't remember when I first met you, but I do remember every emotion that you made me feel. I wasn't sure if I wanted a relationship, but you swept me off of my feet. I loved you. Everything was so good. You were my best friend.

Then things changed. You only talked to me when you wanted something from me. And I was so giving. I bought you so much, I didn't mind because I loved you. Then I realized I was being used and that is a shitty feeling.

Instead of completely cutting off contact from one another after we broke up we continued to use each other for company and it made me feel like you still wanted to be with me. Anytime I'd have doubt or my friends would tell me that I was wrong I'd push it to the side and ignore it.

When you decided you wanted to date a new girl, it broke me. I wanted to cry. My stomach ached and I felt like I was going to throw up. When it didn't work out you were back in my life.

I've slowly tried to get you out of my life and my heart. I realized I finally had when I heard you had a girlfriend and it didn't even phase me.

I stopped being weak enough for you to manipulate, I stopped needing you for my own happiness, and that is the greatest gift I have ever given myself. I refuse to be the girl that cries over you, that's someone else's job now. I'm now stronger than you're ever going to be.

Thank you for showing me what love is not. Thank you for forcing me to learn how to be alone. I've been alone for a couple of years now and I'm the happiest I've ever been. Thank you for making me find myself. Thank you for teaching me that I don't deserve to be treated the way you treated me.

I hope that someday you'll be as strong as I've become. I won't say I hate you because that's too much energy that I don't have to give. I do hope you have a great life, without me though.

From,

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.
