Don't Ask About The Boys In My Life When You Chose To Get Back With Your Ex

You made your choice, so don’t ask about mine.

You know how the saying goes; you can’t have your cake and eat it, too. Well, I guess maybe you did. For a few weeks at least.

A while ago, I asked you if you’d broken up with your girlfriend. I asked you three times, and you reassured me each time that you were done with her.

And now, here we are, three months later. You’re secretly back together with your girlfriend, thinking I’m naïve enough to believe you’re not seeing her again. Or perhaps you never broke up in the first place. Regardless, your first and biggest mistake was thinking I wouldn’t eventually find out, even though we don’t run the same social circles.

Of all people, I’m probably one of the most understanding when it comes to the difficulty of moving on from someone you’ve invested a year in, and also the almost inevitable act of getting back together with that person at least once. I know why you did it, and I don’t fault you for that. I only wish you were less selfish and had the decency to let me go.

You chose her. So what I don’t understand is why you care about who I associate myself with, or why you get defensive or jealous when someone else shows interest in me.

You made your decision, so I don’t owe you any explanations about mine.

In fact, you once told me you don't like it when I talk about the boys in my life. So why do you care so much now, when you don’t even have the right? As long as you are with her, you can’t also lay a claim on me.

Greed does not suit anyone — especially not a horny college boy.

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.
