A Letter to You

If I knew then what I know now, I would have done it differently or not even at all.

A Letter to You
https://odysseyimages.s3.amazonaws.com/cropped_B1FqTb9-f.jpeg

Life was really hard after we ended. My whole life felt like it was crumbling into a million pieces. You were my longest and first love, the person who I thought I would marry one day and grow old with. I thought I would have spent forever with you. That "forever" turned into almost three years. Three years of my life that I got to love you. I loved you more than I loved myself or anything or anyone for that matter... even food! 

But then things started to get rocky and instead of talking to you, I pushed you away. And because of that, I didn't deserve you. I didn't deserve being with someone who would do anything to make me happy. I thought that the only happiness that mattered was yours. That's why I did what I did, was to make you happy. I put you first this time. 

If I knew then what I know now, I would have don it differently or not even at all. I constantly think of the what if's, like what if I didn't end it? What if I did go to Florida with you? What if I did say yes on June 5th? If I did say yes, where would we be right now? What would we be doing? But I'll never know. You refuse to talk to me but it's okay, I understand why.

But if you ever see this, I want to thank you. I want to thank you for showing me what I need and deserve in a relationship. I want to thank you for pushing me to do things that I thought I'd never do. I want to thank you for making almost three years the best three years of my life. The past eight months have been extremely difficult but I'm glad that you moved on. I'm happy that you went out and found what you need and deserve with someone else. So thank you.

I've accepted that what we had is done and that you want nothing to do with me. It's okay, I'll eventually be okay. But with that, I'm closing that chapter of my life now and beginning a new one. I'm saying goodbye to you. I wish you nothing but happiness and well being .... you deserve the best, nothing but the best.

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.
