What I Wish I Could Say

Nothing haunts us like the things we can't say.

What I Wish I Could Say

Being someone who doesn’t like to hurt people’s feelings is great, but it has some cons. For one, sometimes you get people who take you for granted, and walk all over you. And all you can do is let them. Because you care for them too much. There is one person in particular in my life that I continuously let hurt me. This is what I wish I could say to them.

I am not a placemat. You can’t just walk all over me, and not feel the least bit of remorse. You don’t have the right to pretend that my feelings don’t exist, or don’t matter. Because they do matter, and you should put them into consideration for once. I’m tired of basically being invisible to you.

Stop being so dang selfish. Think of someone else besides yourself for once in your life. I know that’s hard to open your eyes and see your surroundings, and see what you’ve been doing to everyone, but you should try it for once. Because you aren’t just hurting me; you’re hurting everyone around you. You’re being a constant wrecking ball to everyone’s life. You come in and destroy who they are and how they feel, then you leave them there. Maybe try caring for them instead of ruining them.

Stop cancelling plans with me all the time. Just show up one time at least. If you don’t want to hang out at all, then don’t make plans with me. Stop getting my hopes up, just to tear them down. Just leave me alone if you don’t want to be around me.

I refuse to be your punching bag. Stop taking everything out on me. Stop getting an attitude with me, when someone else makes you angry. I don’t want our relationship to consist of you being constantly angry and taking it out on me.

It’s always a constant battle between us, and it affects my life more than you can tell. Please change, for me. I love you, but I don’t love the person you are becoming. Just go back to the old you. The you that I love. The you that was happy and laughing, and never let me down. Don’t let life turn you into a bitter person.

That is what I wish I could say.

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.
