To The One That Let Me Get Away

Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing after all.

Thank you for many things. In a way, it was quite bittersweet in the beginning. I understand that things happen for a reason. I am still waiting to see the reason why we didn't last, but I'm sure in time that it will make sense. I know that I will miss the memories that we made and could have made. I know that I will miss the little things like playing music in your car and making fast food runs.

Thank you for showing me how I should be treated and also how I shouldn't be. As much I wanted us to last, I am able to see some flaws with our relationship. You wouldn't read my articles unless I was there to make you. You would go to other people when something upset you, instead of coming to me first. I had wanted to be there for you, to support you, but you wouldn't let me. You began to make fun of what I was passionate about and passively put it down. In the end, you became to busy to talk to me and made me feel like I was bothering you every time I would try to get into contact with you.

With that, I am beginning to realize my freedom and this opportunity you have blessed me with. Although I am not against being in a relationship, I want it with someone that will appreciate me as much as I appreciate them. I am able to take this time and reflect on what I truly want. The person I end up with I hope will be my best friend who will stick by my side through anything. They will see that a relationship is not always easy and will see that it is worth fighting for.

In Adele's words," I was running, you were walking. Couldn't keep up. You were falling down." I want to do a lot of things in life. When I want to do something, I will go at it with everything I have. I have a strong personality because I have been through a lot in my life. I know how to be independent so I'm not worried about being alone. I want someone that will be true to me, which you lacked. Thanks for showing me a very important life lesson that I didn't realize that I needed.

Thanks for setting me free. I have a lot of big plans that I still want to accomplish with my life. I wish you the best with whatever you do. I am happier than ever. I realize that I am happy with the true and honest people that I am surrounding myself with and following my passions. Because, boy, does this girl have plans with her life.

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.
