To The Girl Who Had Him First

You are important to me, too.

To The Girl Who Had Him First,

It is because of you that I am happy. It is because of you that I can wake up every morning knowing that I am valued and cherished by someone who truly cares about me. It is because of you that I am finally satisfied.

You lost a real catch. I am not sure how you didn’t realize what you had when you had it, but I sure am glad that you messed it up. I appreciate all of your little mistakes that taught him lessons in life and in love.

Thank you for letting him go. Thank you for breaking his heart and for teaching him that there are better things out there. I used to envy you because you came along before me and at some point, you made him happy. Now, I am so grateful for you because you’re the reason that he has allowed me to become a big part of his life. I have realized that all people have a past. I also acknowledge that his past doesn’t have to haunt us. I have had to learn a few things the hard way, too, and I know he empathizes with me because of that. He is an amazing individual and I know that he does everything he can to make me happy. I am so sorry that you missed out on all the things I am allowed to experience with him. I don’t want him for fun or for adventure like you did. I want him for commitment and dedication.

Now, you have someone new and I am lucky enough to have him. Sometimes I wonder if you ever miss him, but it doesn’t matter. I know I don’t have to.

So thank you for bringing him to me. Thank you for being a part of the broken and overgrown path that led him my way. You are the reason I am the happiest I have ever been. He is important to me and that makes you important to me, too.

With Gratitude,

The Real Winner

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.
