To The Boy Who Broke All Our Promises

"I lost you long before you officially left."

To the boy who broke all out promises,

I loved you. I loved you more than anybody else in the whole galaxy. And you led me to believe that you loved me too.

You knew exactly what every girl wants to hear and you told me exactly that. You made me fall for you, and darling, I fell fast. You made me want to call you mine so bad, that when I was able to--I preached it to the world.

For months on, you continued to whisper little nothing's in my ear and joke around about how lost you'll be once I leave you because you promise to never leave me. You talked about how you feared to lose me, but then again you always pushed me past my fears so I guess you finally decided to face yours.

You were the boy that always knew how to make me smile even if you were the reason I was crying yesterday. You made me feel like I'd always have you to come to and I did, until eventually I didn't. You made me feel like I could rely on you when, eventually, I couldn't. I lost you long before you officially left. I should've seen the signs as clear as day, you gave up on me, I could have given you the world, but you never even gave me the chance.

All I did the last two months of dating and still do is look at myself in the mirror and wonder what I could change, how if I changed something maybe I could make you love me again, but there is nothing I'll ever be able to do except say that I hope you wake up one day and feel sad knowing that you gave up the moon chasing dimly lit stars. You're a coward who ran away too afraid of commitment when all I ever did was let you walk all over me. Come back and I promise things will be different, because never again will I let you use me the way you did.

Goodbye to my first love. Goodbye to the tears. Goodbye to all the broken promises, but mostly goodbye to ever looking at myself how you made me feel.

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.
