The Boy I Loved Turned Me Toxic, But Not Anymore

Thank you for nothing; I'm finally giving up on you.

People are like drugs—some are good for you, and others are the killers. If you have a big heart like me, you're going to let anyone walk over you time after time again.

It'll never be easy walking away from the boy you swear you love. You're so obsessed with the thought of being happy, it's making you toxic.

For the last two years, I let this boy destroy me piece by piece. He tore apart my self-confidence, my happiness wasn't the same, and my friendships slowly vanished.

I believed that he used to make me happy when everything was perfect in the honeymoon stage. I was still in high school when he was just going into the Marines. I was ready to commit, and basically be with him for the rest of my life.

It was crazy how young I was when I thought I knew what I wanted. I was sixteen saying I couldn't wait to be married, have a family, and be perfectly grown.

But now, I have so much to say to him.

You cheated on me like I was nothing. Was I not good enough for you? You hated the thought of being alone, so you destroyed it yourself.

You pushed me away. You made me crazy. You made me hate myself. I blame you for doing this.

I never did you wrong.

I always did everything to benefit you. I stayed faithful to you. I lost friends for YOU. But while I was doing everything for you, you were too worried about your next lay.

So now, I'm too worried about getting you the hell out of my life.

You have a new girlfriend now, yet you still tell me you love me. I asked you if you loved her, and you told me no. But yet you're telling her you love her.

That proves that you're a weak person, who has to rely on people around him, just to keep yourself happy.

And I am so happy. I am no longer your puppet.

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.
