To The Boy I Couldn't Give My Heart To

Sometimes happy memories hurt the most.

To The Boy I Couldn't Give My Heart To
Elizabeth Tsung

Let me say this first. I'm not the victim here, even though I feel like I am.

You were everything to me at one time. Everything that it made me nervous and anxious that things would change at one point or another.

I ended things and you had every right to think of me as the bad guy in this equation. You told me how much you cared. I want you to know I cared too

You were patient. You know the saying "love is patient, love is kind". Well maybe it, this, us wasn't meant to be, as patient as you were.

It was that night that you told me that you moved on that broke me completely. If you cared that much would you move on so quickly or were you just desperate? I wish I had the answers, but at the same time, I don't. It's not that I wanted what we had back. It hurt. It hurt that you were able to move on that quickly while I couldn't sleep that night thinking "Am I really that forgetful?" or "Did you care for me at all?".

It gets better by the day, but sometimes, all at once the memories come flooding in like a tsunami. The first time you took my hand in yours, the way you sang those sappy country songs in the car and said: "That's how I feel about you.". Those will be the things I will never forget. Sometimes I wish I hadn't met you, but I can't bear to say those words out loud.

The thought of running into you sometimes has me on edge. We have mutual friends and its hard to hear others talk about you at times. You probably hate me, because I hate myself sometimes too for what I did to you. This is me at peace with the whole situation. What I did wasn't right. You were the perfect definition of what I wanted someday, just maybe not today.

xoxo

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.
