To The Jerk That Played with My Head

You pretended to care, I pretended I didn't.

All my friends told me not to message you back. They all said you were a ….. let’s go with jerk. But I didn’t want to be someone that judged people off of what they heard about them. So I messaged you back. First mistake.

Dang, you tried so hard a first. Even when whenever I replied to you I would think in my head “just sound kinda rude. Don’t be too nice.” You told me most of the right things. Tried to tell me how much you weren’t like everyone said you were. First lie.

As time went on I got soft. I started to believe that maybe you weren’t as bad as everyone said. I knew that I was wrong, but you started to get in my head. With all of the “good morning” texts, and telling me that I was beautiful, I started to think you could mean it. Silly me.

I never wanted to care if you texted or called me. I never intended to care at all. And even though I always told you that I never thought about you as more than a friend. That was a lie. I did think about it even though I didn’t want to. I started to care more than I wanted to. Second mistake.

You got mad because I wouldn’t say that I had feelings for you. But I just couldn’t. I couldn’t put it all out there while in my heart I knew that I couldn’t trust you. I knew that there was no way you weren’t the guy everyone said you were. I couldn’t take the risk on you. So I lied. You got mad. And that was it.

You wanted me to trust you. You wanted me to throw caution to the wind. In the end you just threw me to the side. I was right about you. I knew I was right. You tried to say that I was judging you. That I just needed to give you a chance. When what I really needed to do was run the other way. I won’t make that mistake again. Trust me.

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.
