when you left, I lost a part of me. 

I may have lost you, but i found myself.

when you left, I lost a part of me.

Since the beginning, i knew you were going to change my life. Whether it was for better or for worse. I had never come into contact with someone like you. Known bad boy and i was a good girl. 

I want to get one thing straight. I don’t regret you being in my life. Even if it was for a short period. 

Once we started, it started quickly. It was a rollercoaster of emotions and feelings. I never thought I would end up like I did. 

I had become someone i didn’t recognize. Someone who did everything just to make you happy. I didn’t care who I was hurting in the process, as long as you were happy. 

You knew everything about me. I knew everything about you. I know the darkest parts of you. Parts that no one knew. You were the person I could talk to all day and night and I knew you would be there. 

Of course, i told you that people always leave. You told me that you would never do what the others did. 

you lied. you lied and you left. 

you left me hanging and alone and broken. I felt empty and like I would never be the same person again. 

It was in that time that I was alone with my own thoughts in which I discovered who I really was. I am a powerful woman. I have a huge heart in a world that is so cold and empty. People have stomped on me time and time again; yet, i still know I can overcome any pain that anyone could ever give me. 

Nothing in my past broke me to the point that I couldnt pull it back together. I did. All on my own. 

You were no different. 

I may not have gotten closure between what happened between us, but i’m okay with that. Sometimes things are better left unsaid. 

You were just a wild ride that went on too long. 

Once i got off the ride, I got off alone. Alone and broken. Instead of picking up those pieces, i left them behind and started creating a new me. 

A new, more powerful, stronger, healthier, me. A woman knowledgeable of her worth. I no longer crave the affection of people who will do me harm or won’t help me in my future. 

I left you in the past, as i’m creating my future.

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.
