To The One Who Loved Too Much

For the many of us who have lived to experience what loving someone so much and losing them so quickly feels like.

It happens way to often: A relationship deteriorates through lack of love. Successful relationships require the love and effort of two people, and when one person falls short, struggles arise.

For the girls who loved too much,

You deserve the world. You deserve to be loved every day and one day the one who let you go will see the love he lost.

No matter what the reason for the hardships that brought you here, you probably still see him in your future and he’s still everything to you, and you still need him...You are not alone.

You thought your relationship was a cookie cutter dream, you both were inseparable and nothing could ever tear you apart. Sadly somewhere along the way, someone's feelings faded.

It’s easy to feel worthless; it’s easy to feel like there’s something you could have done better. Lean on your friends, your family, those who will let you fall back into their arms and teach you to live with a smile again. Everyone goes through things differently and everyone feels it differently so don’t feel like what you are feeling is wrong because it’s not.

Life is crazy and unexpected sometimes, it it weren't then it wouldn't be life. Nobody is going to promise you'll heal overnight or it will all be okay because these things take time; time to learn to feel "okay" again. They always say "you'll know" when you've found the one. Time will only tell whether the one is really the one.

As the days count on from the last goodbye, endless nights will be spent in tears, trudging through the stages of grief as if the death of a loved one has interrupted the comfort of your normal life. Thoughts of memories, pictures, future plans, mutual friends, and the boundless hours of deep heart to hearts will flood your mind. Begging God for him to understand your heavy heart will be a daily struggle. The light at the end of the tunnel may seem inexistent. During these times, learn to find yourself again.

It's okay to let your heart to continue to love who you have lost; a special bond is not to be thrown away with ease. You're devastated and feel like a piece of yourself was lost with the one you genuinely loved. No part of the situation seems fair to you...and lets face it, it's not fair. Don't spend your time worrying hour after hour about what is going through his head, how he is feeling, or what he is doing. Know that you were something special and time will speak volumes to him about what he lost.

It’s so important to know that God is on your side even though you may feel like he’s not. We all have our perfect plan in life but nothing ever goes as planned, and if it is meant to be it will be. This is time for you to focus on yourself and do things to remind yourself who you are as an individual before seeing yourself as a pair with someone else. No amount of tears, bargaining or worry will bring a change, but time will tell all.

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.
