Saying My Final Goodbye To The Most Toxic Person In My Life

You only care about the flick of that lighter.

This isn’t to bash you, but in a way, it’s a thank you.

Thank you for being my constant letdown. Thank you for being the embarrassment in any public spot we went to. You were controlling, you played mind games, and you were just everything you wouldn’t be.

We had days where you were the funniest and happiest person to be around. Then one day, you decided drugs were more important. That two-hour high was all you cared about.

You pushed me to fall into depression. I never fell for your way, though. You were everything I never wanted to be.

Partying, drinking, and smoking were some things I never found fun. But that was right up your alley.

Heartbreak is a different type of feeling when it comes to fighting for someone with a drug addiction. Drugs are toxic. YOU are toxic.

Let’s rewind to about six months ago, you being drug-free and happy. When we were happy... I used to enjoy spending time with you. I used to be in love with you. You made my days brighter.

But now? You only make your days brighter by flicking a lighter.

I feel sorry for you — and I truly mean that. I blame myself for it. I blame myself for letting you go down this path. How could I not see this coming?

I miss seeing your eyes sparkle when your smile would reach your cheeks. I miss being the reason why you smile. I miss being with you more than anything.

But like I said before, you only care about the flick of that lighter and the blunt between your lips.

So this is my goodbye; this is much harder for me than it will ever be for you.

Watching you go through and down this path is actual torture. I wish you the best, and hopefully a fast recovery.

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.
