To The Boy Who Had Me Wrapped Around His Finger

You know who you are and let me tell you, you had me fooled for a while. You seemed harmless and you did everything that every other boy like you does to get a girl like me. When I say a girl like me, I mean a girl who cares deeply quickly and it's hard to get me to stop. You saw that and you took advantage of that and that my friend, is where you went wrong. I will admit, I am easily swayed but that is not a synonym for stupid and you thought it was. I am a lot of things but stupid is not on that list. Some things on that list are caring, loyal, dependable, and smart. Those are all things I showed you but you overlooked that and went straight to my body. It's like all I was to you was a body who had a wallet.

You had me wrapped around my finger for a while, and that is why in this case, I can call myself stupid. You took me out, called me all sorts of beautiful, let me meet your family and let me grow to like them. I can still remember the day you asked me to be your girlfriend and I was over the moon with excitement. We were at the beach and I had gotten up to do something and you stood up with me. You made me look at you and the words came out of your mouth and I said yes. I went home and told my mom and my friends and I was just over the moon. For whatever reason, we broke up and honestly, that is the best thing that could have happened to me.

You taught me something about myself. You taught me that I am so much more than my body. You taught me to never let anyone use me for my body and you taught me what to look out for in a boy. You showed me who not to talk to so thank you. Thank you for these life lessons that have helped me find a great guy who likes me for me. If you read this article, I'm not sorry for writing it but I hope you read it and take it to heart. If you don't read this, I hope you treat your next girlfriend with a hell of a lot more respect than you treated me with. Thank you for showing me I am wonderful without you.

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.
