An Open Letter To The Man Who Never Gave Me A Real Chance

I Learned My Lesson From You Hurting Me

An Open Letter To The Man Who Never Gave Me A Real Chance
Emily nature

You missed out on a god damn good girl while you were chasing other people. You may have someone you believe is better but to me you are only a coward. The chance you had with me should have not been taken so carelessly.

1.) You were a charmer

You had the nerve to compliment me and keep me wanting more. Little did I know you were just attempting to get what you want and leave. Every moment we spent together is now a distant memory. I give you credit for being an incredible actor in your one man puppet show. At the end of your show there will be no one there to applaud you. Was it worth losing me over? So that you could play the field and leave me clueless at the time. That will no longer be an option for you.

2.) Opening up to you.

I told you some of my deepest fears and family secrets. I had no problem opening up and telling you parts of me I have never told anyone. You pushed away every time I wanted to know more about you and now I know why. You never wanted to let me in completely. I was an open book but you failed to see the details on every page. You thought I was too broken for you but I believe you were just not man enough to handle me and my flaws. You only proved that you were a moron who walked away when shit got real and tough. I don't want someone like that in my life.

3.) I was willing to accept all of your flaws.

I saw your insecurities and imperfections and I was willing to accept them. No one is perfect and everyone has characteristics about themselves that they want to work on. I wanted to be the positive influence on your life that could help you see how great you truly were. You missed out on the one person that would never judge you for who you truly were. Good luck finding someone else to deal with you.

4.) You didn't deserve to know the real me.

You never got the chance to notice how big my eyes light up when I talk about something I love or how hard my stomach hurts from laughing at a corny joke. I showed you the guarded and protected side just in case you hurt me. I thank you for setting me free because now I have the ability to find someone that will love every part of me. The fact that someone amazing was right in front of you and you chose to walk away proves you are a complete idiot.

5.) I should have been a priority but was treated as a convenience.

I feel stupid for making excuses as to why you wouldn't call me, text me, or want to see me. I realize now that I should never wait for someone to give me the attention I deserve. I will never give a man that power again.

6.) Precious time wasted.

You didn't let me know from the beginning that you were lonely and wanted someone to fill your temporary void. That is the time that I will never get back. You could have been an adult and handled ending it better instead of going ghost. I would have more respect for you now.

7.) I gave myself closure.

Even though silence was your weapon of choice I know why I never received a real chance. You were scared of giving your all to someone and ending up back where you started. Exactly what you ended up doing to me. I know that I am a beautiful person inside and out. I also know what I bring to the table and someone will appreciate me.

In the end the only one who should be mourning is yourself. I am amazing and you are at home playing with yourself because that is the closest thing to fun you have had in awhile. That will be the only thing you play with if you keep hurting people the way you hurt me.

I am happy to be free from you.

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.
