To The Girls Who Deserve Better

Most of all, you deserve to be happy.

To The Girls Who Deserve Better
Kimberlee Lizakowski

To the girls who have been lied to, let down, or mislead. To the girls who got hurt by the jerk who never really cared. To the girls who have been cheated on or mistreated… you deserve better.

To the girls who are staying with a guy, waiting around to be treated again like you were in the beginning, stop waiting; if someone starts to treat you bad, you deserve more.

Don’t wait around for someone to change. No one likes change, and we often stay with someone because it’s comfortable, but holding on to the hope that you can change him is not good for you because sadly, that is rarely the case.

You deserve so much more than the guy who comes into your life and messes with your feelings. Leaving you doubting yourself, worrying why you weren’t enough.

You need to know that you are enough, and you should never let anyone let you think otherwise. You can’t waste your time and energy worrying about someone who doesn’t deserve your time...you deserve better than that.

You deserve more than the guy who says everything you want to hear at first, and then simply changes his mind as if he never meant anything he said. You deserve more than the guy who lies and misleads you to get what they want.

You deserve to be treated the same way you treat them. We learn this simple rule in kindergarten, but when feelings get involved we tend to forget that. If someone isn’t following this simple rule…you deserve better. Don’t give them your time if they won’t give you theirs.

You deserve someone who will put in the effort for you, who will go out of their way to see you, not just when it’s convenient for them.

You deserve someone who won’t take you for granted; someone who will make you a priority in their life.

You deserve more than waiting around for a text or a call that might not even come. You deserve someone who isn’t distant, someone who wants to talk to you, someone who genuinely wants to hear about your day.

You deserve someone who likes you for you, just the way you are. Someone who would never try to change you in any way.

You deserve to be appreciated.

You deserve to be with someone who reminds you how great you are, someone who makes you feel beautiful.

Most of all, you deserve to be happy.

To all the beautiful girls who have been hurt by a stupid boy, learn from the past. Use each heartbreak as a lesson to realize how much more you deserve. You are beautiful and strong and no jerk is ever worth your time or your tears. You deserve those just because flowers, you deserve random compliments; and good morning and good night texts. You deserve happiness, and to never settle for anything less.

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.
