When Your Person Is No Longer Your Person

People change and it doesn't mean either of you is right or wrong

When Your Person Is No Longer Your Person
Lagazzeta

Every relationship is different. Some couples couldn't be more opposite while others seem to mirror each other's every action. Maybe you perfectly compliment each other and your strengths take the place of their weaknesses. Either way, if you've found someone you genuinely get along with--someone who brightens your day and makes life easier, I believe you've found your person.

Finding someone you'd consider "your person" can feel like you've won at this whole relationship game. The unfortunate truth about relationships, though, is that you're not always going to be with the person you love. People change, outside distractions get in the way and the obstacles of life can strain any relationship. Sometimes it all gets to be too much and your person isn't your person anymore.

When your person is no longer your person, you don't plan your Friday nights around what they might want to do.

When your person is no longer your person, you don't agree with the same things you used to. Why are you arguing over a restaurant choice? I thought you liked what I liked?

When your person is no longer your person, your family and friends eventually stop asking you about them. Yeah, your sister's birthday party -- don't worry about needing a plus one because your family already knows you don't.

When your person is no longer your person, your schedule seems almost empty. You might even hang out with that friend you always said you'd make time for.

When your person is no longer your person, you have to revise those holiday and special occasion plans.

When your person is no longer your person, you forget about those inside jokes because you haven't told them in so long.

When your person is no longer your person, it might seem like you've been spending your time with a complete stranger. They don't really understand you anymore like you thought they always did.

When you realize your person is no longer your person, it's time to move on and let go of the times when they were. It doesn't mean either of you is wrong or right. It doesn't mean your relationship was a fail or that one of you messed up along the way. Sometimes, your person becomes someone else and the only thing you can do is accept the change and believe that there is someone out there looking for their person too.

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.
