To The Boy Who Takes Girls For Granted

There's a difference between someone who wants you and someone who would do anything to keep you. If I have to beg for your attention, I don't ever want it.

To The Boy Who Takes Girls For Granted

I trusted you. Gave you my heart to protect and honor and you treated it like it was a piece of garbage. I thought you would take care of me, but you didn't.


It's so difficult to realize after all the defending I did for you, telling people you weren't a certain way, or you wouldn't do that to me. Thinking you wouldn't be the person that my peers were telling me about. It sucked finding out they were right all along.


I thought there was something worth fighting for. I thought that something romantic would happen and you would sweep me off my feet. But there is nothing nice about having to continuously convince someone to love you.


You tortured me through everything and I was foolish enough to call it love.


You took me for granted, I thought you were the kindest and sweetest guy, that's why I let you treat me the way you did. I gave you chance after chance and didn't neglect you with anything I had. You just took it without a care in the world. Just like that.


There's a difference between someone who wants you and someone who would do anything to keep you. If I have to beg for your attention, I don't ever want it.


The problem with us was you cared too little and I cared way too much. When it was killing me inside I had to play it off like I didn't care, when in reality I spent most of the time altering myself to hopefully make you like me more. I'd rather have nobody, then someone who is half there, or doesn't want to be there at all.


Some people come into your life to show you what is right and what is wrong, to show you who you can be, to teach you to love yourself. Not everything is rainbows and butterflies or long lasting. My biggest omission was thinking you had the same feeling I had for you. I think the greatest thing you ever taught me was you can give so much of yourself to someone, and it still won't be enough.


You probably still like me, you probably still don't know what you want. You probably miss me one day then say you're better off the next, but that isn't what matters. What matters is that you're not doing anything about it. I want someone who goes out of their way to make it obvious that they want me in their life.


You only want me when it is convenient for you.


If you absolutely wanted to give me affection, then you wouldn't make me beg for it. When you realize that you actually wanted me to stay around, you'll realize you only have yourself to blame.


I am worth it. Always have been always will be.

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.
