To The Relationship That Lasted A Week

And Why You Can Never Be Friends With An Ex

To The Relationship That Lasted A Week

Well, there's not much I can really say about this week-long "relationship". I wouldn't call it a waste of my time, because like all relationships and events do, this small relationship taught me several things.

It taught me to not let my guard down so soon, that even if someone says one thing, they might really mean the total opposite. It taught me that trust is a hard thing to earn, and once you lose my trust, you will never get it back. You said all of the right things, so much so that I made sure to ask you if you were just telling me what every girl wants to hear, and that you were too good to be true. You said no, but I'm glad that I know the truth.

I also learned that there should be no double-standards, especially not in a relationship. You got mad because of my guy friends, but it was cool if you texted other girls because they were "your friends". However, this was not cool.

This week-long relationship also helped me to expand on the qualities I would want my future husband to have. The problem we had was a difference in religion. To me, my faith is an extremely huge part of my life, and I want to make sure that I have that in common with the next person I have a relationship with.

I learned that people who move on too fast from their last relationship don't think about other's feelings, and will jump into another relationship. You definitely did this, and ending up hurting not one, but two people in the process. I honestly felt sorry for you because of the way your ex was talking to you, but now I can't say that I blame her at all.

Ultimately, I learned that you can never be friends with an ex, no matter how brief the relationship was. After we broke up, you basically begged me to still be friends with you, to which I agreed. I saw you as a caring person, and I respected you for who you were. We talked everyday, and acted like nothing had happened. Soon though, you became distant and stopped talking to me. Not to my surprise though, you said you had met someone. I didn't understand why this would matter seeing that we were just friends. Now, however, I'm thankful that everything happened the way that it did. It taught me lessons that will prepare me for the guy that will actually be worth my time.

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.
