I forgive you.

To Those Who Have Hurt Me
Stock Snap

I've been hurt. I've felt pain. I've cried the tears of heartbreak in moments that I will never forget. I've lost people. I've hurt people. I have traveled through life, meeting people, and losing people along the way. It's inevitable that people will remain in your life forever. And the truth of the matter is, people will hurt you. However...

To those who have hurt me, I care about you. You were in my life for a reason, and don't think for a second that I have forgotten about that. I care about the memories we had. I care about your well-being. I want happiness in your life. I want you to thrive in your passions and follow your dreams. I care deeply and truly for you. That will never change, no matter what.

To those who have hurt me, I think about you. I wonder how you are doing. I imagine what your life is like. I think back to all the laughs and moments we have shared and I treasure them. I think of good times, and grow sad at the bad. I think of your smile and your kindness, which you have shared with me. I think of you, despite the end.

To those who have hurt me, I love you. I was fortunate enough to love you through your joy, and pain. I felt those emotions with you. Our connection grew deep enough that I formed a love for you. Regardless of how things ended between us, I will always love you and love who you are. Because who you are is beautiful, and I hope you never forget that.

To those who have hurt me, I forgive you. The battle in which we fought is over, and we have both come out bruised. Things have been said that we don't really mean, but that's the thing about words... we remember them. I forgive you for those words. I forgive you for actions that were made in the moment. I forgive you, and I hope you can forgive me.

To those who have hurt me, I am sorry. I'm sorry for any pain I have caused you. I'm sorry if you lost sleep at night thinking about our relationship. I'm sorry that I made you feel anything less than happiness because all I want is your happiness. But most of all, I'm sorry that we are in this place today.

Here we are today, and unfortunately, we can't change the past. All we can do is move forward and hope we can take the lessons of yesterday, to love unconditionally. I don't regret having you in my life. I thank you for adding your personality into my life. Yes, I have been hurt, and yes, those wounds still sting today. However, that doesn't change the fact you are a gift of God and you were placed in my life for a reason. Maybe one day, we will get back to the place we were before. Just know, I will be here if you need me. Take care old friend, and I hope you find everything you want in life.

All my love.

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.
