To My Almost Ex-Boyfriend

Tall, dark, and full of disappointment

To My Almost Ex-Boyfriend
We Heart It

There is one thing almost every woman needs in a man: consistency. You have to make up your mind. You have to choose either to be a jerk and own it or don't and be nice. Don't make promises to me and then not text me back. Don't tell me you miss me and then call me a hoe. You've decided to stay out of my life from now on so just stay there.

We had a good few weeks but you made the decision to end it. You made the decision that I was no longer worth your time. You quit talking to me but now you're everywhere all the time. I am really tired of this happening. You promised me that you wouldn't do what everyone always does - leave and lie.


You told me you knew all my friends better than I did and that I had no right to hang out with them.


If this were a year ago, I would have listened to you and told my friends I wouldn't come around anymore. I would have told myself that in order to properly get over you, I needed to not see you at all. Seeing you almost every day has shown me that I am a lot braver than I thought. I sit there next to you night after night no longer afraid to speak my mind. You treated me like crap and expected me to just take it.

I'm grateful now, even just a few weeks later, because my friends have all reassured me that they love me. I will always cherish #leave****in2016 and #keep****outofourchat2016. Second guessing yourself sucks, but my friends helped me realize that not only am I amazing but any guy that doesn't see that is not worth my time. I am a lot more comfortable talking to guys now but I also know that I can't tell people about my past.

You knew everything about me and used it against me. I won't be doing that again.

It turns out when you tried so hard to tear me down, all you did was show me and everyone else what you really thought. You also showed me that I deserved so much more. It seems like your plan kind of backfired.....

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.
