To The Boy Who Broke The Good Girl's Heart

Good girls do not come along very often.

To The Boy Who Broke The Good Girl's Heart
Samantha Ard

I am sure you had your reasons for letting her go. Our present day hook-up culture makes it rather difficult to really sustain a relationship. This new cultural refinement draws many into its depths. Or maybe it had nothing to do with you wanting to dip your toes into the pool of casual sex and one-night stands. Maybe you just really didn’t have those same feelings for her anymore. Either way, I commend you for your honesty. You neither cheated nor led her on. However, you did hurt her. And heartbreak, as we all know, can be agonizing.

You may or may not care, which is also OK. This is your life and you get to do with it as you please. But let me warn you just this once. Good girls do not come along very often. I’m talking about the girls who make you laugh so hard a snort escapes or tears run down your cheeks. The girls who make you feel so comfortable even when they are asleep on your already sore shoulder, drool soaking your clothes. Girls who overall just make you unexpectedly smile even when they are not around.

The kind of girls who make you so angry, but an anger that can only be tamed when brought on by them. These girls rave about you to their girlfriends, listen to you even when they have no idea what you are talking about and care about you so deeply that they worry when you come home only five minutes late, all possible catastrophes racing through their head. I could go on but good girls can be defined many times over all so differently yet having one thing in common. Good girls have this fire that burns so bright it radiates from their soul, warming everyone around them. People know a good girl when they see one because they see that light in their eyes and feel the warmth from their soul.

I am not saying these good girls are perfect human beings. By no means are any of us perfect. But it is not hard to fall in love with these kinds of girls, imperfections and all. Flaws can be beautiful and raw. These types of girls are so good yet so human at the same time. The essence of their goodness encompasses nothing but inner beauty. Many people lack this inner beauty. Many people lack compassion and empathy, but a good girl's foundation is rooted in these very concepts. In a hard, troubled world, they hold their own, and they transmit kindness while staying strong.

If you truly only lost feelings for her or knew she was not the right one for you, I hope you come across another good girl during your life. Truthfully, I do. I’m sure you are not a bad guy and only meant well by her. Even if you left her to partake in this hook-up culture, I still hope one day you come across a good girl who captivates you and helps you awaken your inner desire for strong human connection that is a completely natural fulfillment of human nature.

Sincerely,

A good girl

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
