I'm Not Sorry

These are the reasons that I will not forgive you.

I'm Not Sorry
Shania Dauphinais

I'm NOT sorry that our friendship has come to end. I'm not sorry that we no longer talk or that I no longer see your posts on Facebook. I am actually very happy that I don't. You were always a very toxic person to me. You would always lie and say one thing and then go and tell others another thing. You made up fake stories just to impress people. But we all knew that they were just made up. That they were your way of trying to fit in with everyone and not feel so left out. I'm sorry that you felt that you had to lie and make up stories for us. We never wanted that.

We would always try and include you in our lives. From Christmas, to birthdays to Easter and more. You were always welcome at our house when ever your family failed to be what they were supposed to be; your family. We were another home to you. We were a place that you could call home and that you could feel like you were without judgment. We loved you unconditionally. Until you lied one to many times.

It is not often I'm home so when I do come home I try and spend it with those that I love. You were one of those people. Sure we may not have been blood but I considered you family. You've been apart of my life for so long that I forgot what it was like to not have you in it. And honestly, it feels great. You were always such a toxic person. You would always choose those who would treat you like you did not matter over those who would do anything to make sure you were okay. You always let people walk all over you but you never appreciated what we gave you. You walked all over us and for a time we let you. That is until you lied one to many times. At first I used to blame myself. Saying that next time it would be different. That you wouldn't choose someone who would always take advantage of you. But time and time again that is who you would choose. So finally I had enough.

It has taken me years to get to this place of acceptance. It has taken me a long time to realize that I don't deserve to be lied to all the time. I'm not saying all of our friendship was bad. We've had good times. But the bad unfortunately outweighs the good. There is only so much lying and deceiving a person can take during their life. And I was sick of being lied to by someone I considered family. Someone I would choose time and time again. So I'm not sorry. You were the one who lied. Not just to me or my mom, but to our friends. You were the one who made the decision to lie. You were the one who made all of the choices that led up to us not being friends. So while you realize how much my family did for you and how much you've lost, maybe next time you will think twice about who you lie to. I'm not sorry that our friendship has ended and I will not forgive you. And for that, I'm better off.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
