You Don't Need Him Anymore.

It's going to be hard. But you need to walk away from what's been hurting you the most.

You Don't Need Him Anymore.

When I first met him I didn't think we were going to end up talking, I didn't think things were going to end up like they did, and I absolutely didn't think that he was going to mean this much to me.

I didn't know that it was going to be this hard to walk away.

When they first start talking to you, they'll do anything to get your attention. They'll send you sweet good morning texts, tell you how beautiful you are, and talk to you all day. They'll make you feel like you're important, and like you actually mean something to them. But it's all just an act. Once you grow on them and give them your undivided attention, they change. When you give them what they want? All of a sudden, they're done with you. You become just another girl on his hit list.

Nothing is worse than being led on and used by someone you thought cared about you. Especially when they tell you that they would never be the type of guy to just use you. Well, they lied. They figure out exactly what to say and do to get you to do what they want, and every single time you cave in. You cave because you like this person, or at least you think you do. But you don't like this person; you like the person they were when they first started talking to you, the guy he was before he got what he wanted.

Being used makes you feel like crap. It makes you feel like you're not good enough for anything besides what he wanted. It makes you feel worthless. It makes you feel stupid for always going back to him when you know he doesn't deserve it.

But I'm telling you that he's a piece of shit. He will probably never find anyone as good as you. He'll be complaining about never being able to find that loyal girl, when in fact you were there from the start. But it's whatever. It's his loss! Take what you learned from trusting him and walk away. Give all you have to give to some good guy that deserves it. You are good enough. You are worth it. You aren't stupid. You just made a mistake, and you're going to learn from it.

I know I'm not the only girl out there that deserves better. Here, I'm telling you if you feel like things are one-sided, if you feel like you're trying too hard to keep his attention, if you feel like you're being used, then it's time for you to walk away. I know it can be difficult to finally realize it, and it can be hard to walk away if you have strong feelings for this person. But all I can tell you is that leaving this person will be the best thing that ever happened to you. It's going to take some time, but when you're finally happy with someone else, you'll be grateful that you finally left that person.

Girl, there is someone out there that will treat you like the queen that you are, and just because things didn't work out with that asshole, it doesn't that mean that it's the end of the world, and it doesn't mean you're going to die alone with cats and/or dogs. I can assure you that once you get rid of what's hurting you, your life will be so much better. You need someone who reminds you every day that you're beautiful and makes you feel like the happiest girl on the planet. You shouldn't settle for any less! I know that if you're in this situation, this guy has once made you feel like a queen, and he's once made you feel important. But now he knows he's got you wrapped around his finger. He knows what he has to do and say to get you to come crawling back to him. The best thing you can do is ignore him and show him that he doesn't control you and he shouldn't always expect you to come back to him.

It is time to move on. You're a strong girl; you can do this! You don't need him anymore to be happy. Go out and find someone else because I'm pretty sure any other guy would be better than the piece of shit guy that used you. There are other guys out there that will treat you like a queen, make you laugh, and always be there for you. You shouldn't be so worried about one guy that honestly didn't care about you at all. Hurt him like he hurt you. Show off how happy you are with your new guy. They say they won't care about you and your new boy toy, but deep down it'll bother them. Knowing that they finally lost you will kill them. They can't just hit you up late at night anymore, because you're with someone else. Someone else has all of your attention. You're doing better with someone else. That could've been him, but oh well; he ruined that for himself.

Just know that you're beautiful and you're worth it. If you find yourself stuck on one guy that doesn't care about you. It's time to realize that, and give your attention to the guys in your DMs, the ones that actually want you. He'll treat you like a queen, and you treat him like a king. Make that other guy realize what he lost by using you. Make him regret that he ever did you wrong. The guy who at first told you that "nobody can do it better than him" was wrong; there are plenty of other guys that can do it way better than him. Now it's time to show him that nobody can do it better than 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.

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.
