The One That Got Away

Sometimes "forever" feels like it's not enough time.

"Forever?"

"Forever and ever."

Shared smiles as they hold hands taking in the beautiful sunset.

Long car drives to nowhere just so they could spend more time together.

That first kiss and the way their nose wrinkled when they smiled afterwards.

Every free moment in life belongs to spending time with them, feeling on top of the world.

Grocery store trips become way more fun with them.

Feeling like nothing on earth could break them.

"I love you."

"I love you more."

Months fly by, in which they create endless nights full of adventure and laughter.

They paint the world with bright colors through their love for each other.

Memory after memory.

The first fight and the way they both cried afterwards.

More memories.

More promises towards the future.

Deep conversations, completely sharing minds and hearts.

More fights.

"Do you still love me?"

"I always will."

Long talks.

Treasuring every touch, in fear of losing them.

More memories.

Short drives because they are tired.

A sunset that is nowhere to be seen.

No nose wrinkles after the kiss.

Seeing each other when they have a chance.

One last fight.

One last talk.

One last kiss.

Lonely walks alone down the grocery store aisles.

Everything around them breaks them.

Reminding them of the memories.

'I still love them."

"I think I love them more than they love me."

Months fly by.

The beauty from the world is lost.

Tears shed.

Long, lonely nights.

Months pass.

More colors are added to the world.

Someone else asks them about their past relationship, they smile.

"Sometimes forever doesn't actually last forever, and that is okay."

"We lived fearlessly. I don't regret it."

They will never meet anyone like each other for the rest of their lives.

But luckily every sunset is different and beautiful.

Luckily there will be more moments in life that will be treasured.

The world is full of promises.

Too many for all of them to last forever.

"I love what we had."

"I always will."

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.
