The majority of my dating life consists of me meeting men that I like, and them taking advantage of my feelings. They all claim that they care, that they have feelings for me too, but they just string me along.

Here’s the thing, I’ve heard every cheesy line and I can sense your bs from a mile away at this point.

Sure there are those one or two guys that I wish would just quit playing games already and stay, and it kills me knowing they are seeing other people after all I’ve done for them. However, I know that if someone has been playing games with me for over a year and a half, they’ll never stop.

Is it funny to you? Is it a pride thing? Do you sit there and get joy from looking me in the eye, telling me you care when you know that the second I leave you won’t call me again until you get lonely. Do you think that I enjoy it? I don’t. You probably don’t even know how many times I’ve gotten mad at myself for giving in and spending time with you.

I know I deserve better, and that you can treat me better if you just tried.

Here’s the bottom line, find yourself a girl like me. Go on out there and try to find someone who will bring you food, drive two hours to come spend time with you, stop everything they are doing and be there for you no matter how many times you hurt them. Those who know me, know I live my life by the “golden rule”, treat others the way you would want to be treated. I try to think about how the other person feels, but I guess that is a dying practice.

Sure, I might still answer the phone and continue to hope and play along with all the games you may try to play, but one day I’ll just stop playing along.

I know I am better than you, that’s just a fact.

I’ll meet someone else who sees me for what I am truly worth, and just like that, I’ll be gone. That day is coming sooner than you realize.

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.
