An Open Letter To The Boy I Will Never Be Good Enough For

I've accepted it by now.

I talked about you like you single handedly put each star in the sky, and maybe I still talk about you that way — maybe it's not past tense. The first day we talked, our phone call was six hours and it was eight hours the next night.

You got me.

Every time we spoke, or even text, I was constantly laughing and realizing more and more that you were going to be a person i couldn't shake. Nor did I want to.

You checked every box for me: you were a musician, you had long messy hair and a smile that made me melt which you witnessed so many times over our disgustingly adorable Facetimes where i’d spend what felt like hours just looking at you.

I just wish I checked those boxes for you.

Maybe I just read into things too much, and maybe I just saw what I wanted to because I could swear I made you as nervous as you made me and I could swear you were as confident in our connection as I was.

But of course you weren't.

I should have seen you not being into me from a mile away.

Everything we had was built from loneliness on your behalf and me finding out what a stellar guy you are on my behalf. Girls like me don't get guys like you — I've seen the movies, so I should have seen the ending.

I thought — no, prayed — that the spark wouldn't be there in person and that I could move on with no hassle. However, it was there. The second I saw you and heard your laugh in person, it confirmed everything. Everyone I was with could see it written on my face: I was absolutely smitten.

Quickly after our encounter that ended in me crying in a parking lot at 2 a.m.,I felt like a guy would never see in me what I saw in him our communication was cut.

It was official I was to you just a girl that wasn't good enough for you and you were a boy that was too good for me.

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.
