They say you'll never fully realize you were in a toxic relationship until you've been out of one for a long while. You could have friends point it out to you on countless occasions, but you still have yet to see what is right in front of your own eyes. Once you begin to realize it, you tend to remove all the negative aspects in your life and replace them with positive ones.

After a few days, you realize that you're feeling a billion times better- when you cut ties with a toxic person overall. Whether you decide to do something "sinful" to try and distract your mind from all the overthinking you've done, you realize that you CAN do it. You start to become an unstoppable force.

As long as you start to have faith and hope within yourself, you're able to overcome any obstacle in the way. You can achieve what you want in life once you begin to learn and let go. Being in a toxic relationship is something that nobody sees coming. It all takes time to even begin to realize that someone is toxic.

Whether they become that way due to someone hurting them that badly and messing with their head, or from some other issue that they may have been facing that has messed them up mentally & emotionally. Nobody deserves this either.

I myself had suffered from a toxic relationship. I couldn't see the signs, but many of my friends could. I wasn't sure of the signs or anything, but distancing myself from it now shows me them. I was basically kept with tabs, and little trust was given. I focused on making myself better coming out of this.

Sometimes it still gets to me. Other times, I brush it off. But I can honestly say that I am so much stronger and better off than I was. Focus on something that you want to improve and let go of all the negativity from a toxic person.

You'll feel a lot better in the long run, it just takes time.

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.
