To The People Who Let Me Down

I am stronger and a better person because of you.

To The People Who Let Me Down
Pinimg

Everyone goes through hard times and the tales of a broken heart, some worse than others, but all still equally as emotionally draining and sometimes life changing. It is hard to believe that others can willingly treat others with such lack of compassion and affection towards another, when in the end, we are all human. I do not understand why people are treated differently based on their sex, ethnicity, sexuality or even religious culture. Why do you continue to let me down?

I take it deeply personal when another human being takes advantage of someone only to benefit them self. People that purposefully go out of their way to make another feel less of them self. Those who simply leave someone behind and move on in life, heart breakers. I know these people and they are everywhere and I have been personally affected and changed for better and for worse because of them.

So, here is what I have to say to you: thank you.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Thank you for tearing me apart. Thank you for stressing me out and making me anxious. Thank you for the pools of tears and sleepless nights because you know what? The depression and pain you caused me, only made me stronger. I am so much stronger than I was 2 years ago, and even stronger than I was yesterday. Even though, sometimes the world feels like it is crashing on top of you and are left to drown, it will eventually let you breathe. People can be cruel and we all know that, but the sadder part about it, is when people let that cruelty affect their life.

Don't give it in! You are a rock star in your own way. It is unavoidable to be let down by others, however be the strength to their power and say "thank you" and move on.

In world of Miss Congeniality, I want world peace.

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.
