You are all the best.

A Thank You To All The Guys Who Let Me Down
Auto Straddle

It is hard to believe I am now thanking you, after unanswered texts, constant confusion, and wondering if something was wrong with me. I am now thanking you for causing me to have slight panic attacks, for giving me a reason to write angrily in my journal, and for giving me a reason to question all of my life choices.

You are all wonderful people, I am sure, if you really try. You are great at the guessing game and winners in the not caring department. I wonder if you even remember the short amount of my time that you wasted. I sure hope you do. Because it is that short amount of tortured time we spent together that I am now thanking you for.

You really got me, making me think you liked me and then never responding to my texts ever again, I really never saw that coming, even though it always happened, with every single one of you. I should have just done what all the smart girls do and play hard to get, then the wasted time would have been a lot shorter and probably more entertaining.

But because of you all, you mean boys who made me think I would finally find someone who would stick around, I finally found one that would. I finally found that one man who would become something more than just another boy. He became a part of my life, an actual part of my life, not a temporary, toxic part.

Not only did he stick around and stay there, he became my best friend. And I have all of you to thank for that. If it weren't for you, I would not know what to not look for in a guy, I wouldn't know what was bad for me, or warning signs of a guy who was just like the rest.

And even though you all made me a little hesitant when getting close to someone, I knew he was a good egg. I knew he would care about me and stick by my side even when I turned into a crazy emotional wreck that none of you stuck around long enough to see and which I'm sure would have scared you all away. But not him, because he is probably crazy too, which is why we work together.

Thank you for not giving me a chance, thank you for crushing me over and over again, I really appreciate it. And because none of you ever let it work between us, I now have someone who will fight to make it work, who will try as hard as possible to be everything I ever wanted, and so far he is succeeding.

You all showed me how I should not tolerate being treated and although none of you were that bad, I could tell you obviously did not care. I wish I would have realized it sooner, so I could have moved right along and gotten on with my life.

Thank you for letting me down. Every time I stare at my man's face, I realize how lucky I am that it never worked out with any of you. And maybe that is exactly how it was supposed to work out because you all failed me, I have someone who never will.

And I hope you all found someone who makes you feel how I feel now, complete, loved, and actually wanted. Maybe it all worked out the way it did for a reason, we were never meant to be together because there was someone out there better for us. I found my someone, I hope someday you find yours, just make sure to treat her better than you treated me.

Thank you, boys, for helping me find my man.

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.
