Bad Breakup: The Road To Recovery After A 7-Month Affair

You were my "one," but you won't be my "only."

Seven long endless months. The best seven months of my life. The person I was with changed me and made me a better person. I feel so madly in love that I saw my whole life in front of me. I saw myself settling down and one day having a family with the person I was with. But it all took a complete and total twist. I was not good enough. I could not make him happy. I was not enough. I thought I found my forever but I did not. I thought he was the "one".

I was so madly in love I could not see myself with anyone else. If he called me I would answer in a heart beat, he could say and do terrible things to me and I would still find a way to forgive him. I will always look past his flaws and love him. I refuse to talk down about him because I love him. He made me a better person. He made me have a reason to care.

One day soon he will realize what he lost when he has no one to talk to about his family problems. He will have no one there to listen to him cry about missing home and his friends. He will be all alone one night and it will all click that he walked away from someone that was willing to give him the world to make him happy. When that day comes, I will answer the phone and not speak. I want to hear him beg and then I will hang up the phone. It is not worth it anymore, the heartbreak and the tears. I will not lose myself over somebody.

In a couple months I will heal and I will keep smiling. I wish him nothing but success and happiness. He deserves it, he will always be someone I love. But one day, he will just be another old lover. I will always remember him but I will not wait for him to change his mind about the decision he made to leave.

If you are reading this, Drew, I hope you get everything you want out of your life. This is a goodbye, not a see you later. Thank you for the amazing seven months.

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.
