To The Boy I Should Have Listened To

You may think all you have said to me never made a difference, but it did.

Dear the boy whom I should have listened to,

You were right. About everything. I am not happy where I am at in my current relationship. I go day by day being constantly unhappy about a multiple of things and continue to remember everything you said to me.

You saw that I was not happy with my relationship. You saw that he was not treating me in the best of ways. You saw more things at that time (and it is still continuing), than I did. I kept telling myself that everything was okay and that everything would continue to be okay and that I was not hurting, that it was just a way of life. And the biggest thing, that I was okay. You saw all of these things that i was not able to see myself. Thank you.

I am currently going day by day just tolerating everything until I am able to leave in the near future. I have thought about things for quite a while now and have came to the conclusion that the only way to be happy is to leave this place to get away from it. It is the only way I can end any of it.

Maybe things would have been better if I listened to you then, however I don't believe I was ready in my thought process or for the rest when you pointed everything out to me. But I do, believe it or not, go day by day regretting I could and would have done something different.

I guess the point of this letter is to thank you. I thank you for opening my eyes and realizing what was in front of me. Thank you for making me smile and laugh when I needed it the most. I will never forget what you have said to me because it truly has made a difference.

My one last thought for you. I now hope you are happy where you are at in your life. All I can do now is wish you the best as you have continued to do for me. Thank you 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.

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.
