Why I Am Letting You Go, My Temporary Crush

Not everyone that comes into your life has to stay.

I have never been good at letting go, especially when it comes to people.

It is even harder for me to let go when it comes to you.

I would wake up every morning and hold on to those tiny fragments of hope. I realized that those tiny fragments of hope are the reasons why I am suffering.

So today, I let you go.

I want to be able to fully love myself before anyone else can. I need to think about myself before I think about you. I cannot love myself if I make you my priority while I am just your option. The way I love myself is the way others will love me.

You make me feel like I am hard to love, and I want to stay away from that toxicity. I show you the best version of myself, but somehow I still do not feel good enough. I am always afraid that you will find someone better.

We both want to different things. You are always roaming freely, and I am just here waiting for you. I want you to find what and who you want to find. There is no point in me waiting and questioning what we are.

You are always so indecisive. You do not know what you want. I deserve to receive an answer. I deserve to have someone who knows that they want me indefinitely.

If I keep holding on to the thought of us being something, then I am just holding on to my own suffering. I have so much in me to only be half loved. Life is too precious for me to be waiting around for something that will not happen. I cannot go around carrying the burden of your uncertainty. The more I fight for what we are not, the more I will be fought back. I have to respect myself enough to let go of something that is not worth holding onto.

We were just an almost. We almost made it. We can just take this as a lesson learned in life.

As long as you are happy and I am happy, then there is nothing to worry about.

Maybe this is not an ending to something in my life, but just the start of something more magical.

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.
