What I Never Got To Say To Your Face

What I learned from someone who hurt me.

What I Never Got To Say To Your Face
Hope Lumpkin

Dear Loser, thank you!

I never got the chance to say this to your face, so here it is. You truly suck. The saddest part of it all is not that we don’t talk or how you treated me, it’s that you turned out to be the worst kind of person. You actually had a lot of people fooled. You convinced me that you were this kind, honest, role-model of a person. You made yourself out as a victim when in all reality, you are the villain in your own story. You don’t deserve me. I can finally say that without it being egotistical; I’m too good for you. I trusted you, believed you and fell for all your BS -- that was my fault but I now know better. I am not going to lie, when I see you it sometimes hurts. There are moments I forget how bad you were and I wish I could just check up on you but then I remember we don’t do that. I truly cared about you, and you ruined that. But I’m ok!

Thank you! Thank you for showing me what I don’t want in a partner. Thank you for teaching me that not everyone is going to treat me the way I treat them.

Let me pause right there. Yes, this is a letter to show you how much you suck, but you weren’t all bad. You also showed me that I am wanted, you made me feel wanted, even if it was for just 0.2 seconds. Somewhere deep, deep, deep down you’re an OK person. You just let your ego and immaturity to get in the way.

I pray for you. I pray that one day you grow up and grow out of this jerk you’ve turned into. One day, your name is just going to be a figment of my past and won’t mean a thing. Here is me letting go of you fully. As much as I dislike you, I only wish you the best. I hope you find love, happiness and maturity. I hope you someday learn your lesson and until then, I’m going to just keep on keepin' on.

You may think I’m writing this because I’m still “stuck on you,” or just can’t move on, which up until this point was kind of true. I’m writing this for all the girls who have been screwed over by people just like you. For the longest time I was lost for words, I tried to create excuses for you -- for why you did what you did. I finally came to the realization that I will never be able to understand why you did it because it doesn’t make sense. It probably does not even make sense to you.

This is for the girls out there that feel alone and can’t find the words to say to losers like you. Sweetheart, just know you are not alone and I’ve found the words you need to say.

Sincerely,

Me and the majority of the female population

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.
