To The One Who Always Hurt Me

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but your words really hurt too.

To The One Who Always Hurt Me

I’ve spent a few years under your control and I am really really tired of it. I totally get it feeling in charge is the best thing ever, but could you, ya know? Quit it? I am emotionally, physically, and mentally tired of being under your control and I will not take it anymore. I thought we were friends and I thought I could trust you and I thought we were okay, but we're not. I just can't sit here and think that everything’s alright over and over again, but thanks for trying. I have spent the time that you have spent hurting me questioning everything I do, because I thought it must be my fault. It's not, though, and you won't find yourself by punishing me.

I am sorry for whatever hurt you. I know you only hurt me because you were hurt before, and that kills me. I just am so tired of you doing the same to me. I am sorry someone emotionally scarred you to the point you lost yourself. I won't let you hurt me anymore though. My family, my friends, and my future kids won't know the pain you caused, and I will never let them understand the pain a person can cause, either.

I am thinking of you and praying for you all of the time. I haven't given up on you yet - I am constantly worried about you. I don't want you to ever think someone is not on your side, so I forgive you. I always do and I always will. I don't know what it is, but I will always and forever have cared for you beyond comparison to what you care for me.

I am on your side whether or not you're on mine. I love you whether or not you love me back. I think of you, and I only think good things, despite the vicious things that come to your mind when you think of me. I forgive you whether or not you forgive yourself.

Sincerely,

The One You Lost Control Over.

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.
