What I Wish I Knew Before I Met Y​ou

You filled voids I didn't know I needed until you were gone.

What I Wish I Knew Before I Met Y​ou

No one believed me when I told them how fast I became fond of you, but they weren't seeing the same person I was. You were amazingly interesting to me. I loved learning the way things make you tick and trying to figure out your extremely complex personality. I wish I was slower with my feelings and took enough time to see how although we had a great connection we should have remained friends.

You were always honest with me about how you felt and that made me feel extremely comfortable with you. When we were together at the time I was not even grateful for the comfort you gave me because I was not planning on that feeling to go away, but it had. I wish I would have not got so comfortable.

You made me blind, but it's okay because while we were together I saw colors. I looked past your poor habits and reckless behavior to see more of a person that was never truly there, just one that I made up for you. You were sweet and had ridiculously funny humor, but you also were a manipulative asshole.

When you did something wrong, one way or another, I convinced myself that it was my fault. I forgave you too many times when you never even apologized to me. I wish I would have walked away sooner.

Although I was so greatly fond of you and I loved your hilarious, adventurous, and unique personality, your lack of empathy made me drift away until I felt completely nothing. I'm proud of who I have become since I got away from your toxic grasp. There is nothing I would want to change about how our relationship went, but I really do wish I knew that even though we were so happy and so passionate in the beginning, that I would be okay when it was time to leave.

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.
