To Those Who Walked Out On Me
The Readhead Riter

From the beginning, we were stuck together like glue. We were two puzzle pieces that had finally found their missing links. I was going to be there for you, always. I would take care of you when you were sick, cheer you up when you were sad and make sure you kept smiling. I would celebrate all that you achieved because I was your number one fan. I helped you cram for finals, read your essays, anything you needed, I wanted you to succeed. I wanted to see you reach the top of the world. I loved you so much.

Suddenly, things took a turn for the worst. Fights began. Insults were thrown. Secrets were spilled. Trust was broken. We both got hurt, but you decided enough was enough. But when? When did you decide enough was enough. Had you been thinking it for a while or was it spur of the moment? Were you unhappy from the start or did it just continue to grow? When did I become a rag doll compared to your new pal Barbie? The one question that matters the most to me is, how was it so easy for you? You walked out of my life like it was nothing.

Despite all these questions and all the pain I have felt I want you to thank you. I want to thank you for showing me how caring and good hearted I can be. How supportive and kind I am. You taught me that even if I put in my all, I might not get the same in return. But that is OK. You allowed me to see that; this is who I am, not for personal gain, but because that is the way people should be. You showed me that not everyone has the same heart that I do. That I cannot expect people to care for me as much as I care for them. That is OK, too; it only made me stronger.

It may seem that I am bitter about this. I will tell you, it broke my heart when you left. But I do not regret our time together. I am thankful for all the memories we have made. I will hold onto them. Even though we stopped making them, we had some great times together.

As of now, I hope you are doing well. I hope you are chasing after your dreams and are living happily. I will always love you. I know that sounds odd due to you're the one who chose to leave. But you deserve to be happy, that's what I have always wanted for you.

If by some chance our paths cross in the future, maybe we can try again.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
