To The Boy Who Broke Me

Why did I deserve this?

To The Boy Who Broke Me

To the boy who broke me,

At one point I thought of you as a handsome, goofy, and engaging guy. This has changed. You bought me a latte each morning. The funny thing is you could never remember my order. I would tell you "Butter pecan latte with lots of sugar." I also told you I loved you, I guess you never remembered that either.

You didn't want to know anything of my past and I thought that was completely okay, maybe you knew I was tainted and it would crush you knowing why. All of the problems I faced in my past were stuck in my head and not to be spoken of. Your obsession with drugs and sex got the best of you. I felt like a doll, somebody you went to when you found it convinient. All of your money and love went to that maryjane, but you couldn't spare any for more important things.

I loved you unconditionally. The cigar smell on your skin was home and when we were together I was home. I put my trust into the smell of your skin and the taste of your lips. You failed me. Everything was going wrong left and right. I knew nothing could stop us from breaking up. If something is meant to be, it will be.

We met her through a mutual friend. You could tell just by looking at her she was more two faced than a jar full of change. I can't believe she could look me in the eye and call me a friend or tell us how cute we were together. Behind the scenes I should've known she had been kissing your lips too. In the end you left a diamond for fools gold. The drugs, and eventually alcohol, got the best of you.

I then found out everything after you dumped me for some bogus excuse. Our mutual friend's told me the truth only a couple weeks after our breakup. You cheated on me. The pieces were put together in my head and it made so much sense. I was even more devastated than I was when I first lost you. I felt like I lost my world, my star, and my soul. My body has become weak. I've lost my appetite and the stomach you used to lay on when you got sleepy had shrunk. Everything that was left of you has been washed down the drain or turned into ashes. I still wonder if you have the tattoo that marked our everlasting love with our anniversary date. How does she feel about it? You broke me.

It's not all terrible though. I want to thank you and her. You showed me that life is more than sitting on the couch getting stoned. My life is full of friends, family, and love. You're the reason why I'm not giving up on myself. I know I can be better. My path into adulthood is going to be a healthy, one thanks to the wake up call your presence gave me.

With all the hate in the world,

The girl you broke

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.
