I Tried To Fix A Broken Man And He Broke Me In Return

I thought it would be all rainbows and butterflies, but it wasn't.

I Tried To Fix A Broken Man And He Broke Me In Return
Marissa Hall

About a year ago I wrote about a boy that I was in love with, a boy that had my heart.

That boy was very broken, broken beyond repair. As a healing soul, I tried to fix him. Fixing a broken man usually ends one of two ways, he heals or he breaks you. My broken man broke me and now I'm saying something.

Broken guys will break you.

You can't fix him, you will never be able to fix him. When I met this guy, I knew that he was going to have an impact on my life. He swooped in and made me feel special. He kissed me, in a hotel room, at a conference the day before we separated for spring break. I gave up everything for him, changing my schedule to accommodate him. I did everything to make him feel like a man, ultimately making myself look like a fool. I was blind in love, not realizing that I was a ghost of the girl I wanted to be. In the end, he walked away, after I did everything to help him become whole. I was broken.

We blocked each other on social media. Pictures were deleted. Feelings were deleted.

We were ghosts of each other's past. I had to piece myself back together again. I tried to get back into the dating scene, but it hasn't gotten very far. It's been almost a year and neither of us has been in a relationship. It gives me an evil sense of joy knowing that he isn't breaking another girl like he broke me. He, however, thinks I am a witch who put a voodoo spell on his love life.

Karma has a way of taking care of those who have done wrong. He broke me, when all I wanted to do was fix him. Now, we are both whole. He will not be breaking another girl again, as he is no longer broken.

Broken guys will only break you. Do not try to fix what is already broken.

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.
