Being Cheated On Is Not Your Fault

You are the one that is insecure, you are the one that needs help.

Being Cheated On Is Not Your Fault
Joyc Daniels

To the boys who think that to cheat on their significant other only means having sex: you’re wrong. Being in a relationship with one girl, then telling another girl she is the best thing in the world, that is cheating. Honestly, if the person I was with just had sex with a random hooker, I would probably forgive them; because I know he will never talk to that girl again. But, when you start wondering if you should delete that message, you are cheating. When you open up your heart to another girl, more than you open up to your girlfriend, you are probably cheating. “If you are happy with the first person, you would never have even noticed the second person”, one phrase that haunts me to this day.

Today when I had a lovely conversation with my ex-boyfriend’s girlfriend, I realized something. For too long I blamed myself for not being good enough, but honestly, I was too good for him. Sure it took me 11 months and some days to realize it, but at least I did. Honestly, a cheater is someone that can never be truly happy. They are consistently looking for something better.

See, being cheated on was honestly the most life-altering thing that could have happened to me. Initially, I thought it was my fault, that I just wasn’t pretty enough. Or maybe it was because I have small boobs and no ass. But just thinking those thoughts, should have shown me how unhappy I was.

Cheaters, to be point blank, you mess us up. You make us feel worthless like we are pieces of shit. When really, it’s you. You are the one that is insecure, you are the one that needs help. You tell your girlfriend that you love her, then tell your side girl that she's the best girl you’ve ever met. No. Stop. Please spare me from the next ignorant thing you say.

I know I will never be the same, because of one boy that can cheat on me repeatedly, but can still make me feel love like I have never loved before. So, congrats, do you want a cookie because you just ruined all of her next relationships. Trust is something that should never be lost, and you just made her lose trust for every man she dates after 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.
