To The Boy Who Broke My Heart

You never deserved it.

To The Boy Who Broke My Heart

I did everything for you.

I let you see every part of me. I shared my secrets with you. I opened up to you. I loved you with every piece of me.

I would have given up everything for you.

I gave you 3 years of my life and all you did was break me. You left me up at 2 A.M. crying so hard I could barely breathe. I thought I was going to pass out so many times because I couldn’t seem to get enough air in my lungs.


You’re the reason for all of those sleepless nights.

You’re the reason I don’t trust.

You took every bit of love I had out of me.

I was the most loving and selfless person ever and then you came around and broke me.

You made me feel so undeserving of your love but in reality, you were undeserving of my love. I had so much to give and you never gave anything back.

You’re the reason why I will struggle to believe in love.

You broke my heart into a million tiny pieces and I’m still trying to put it back together but I know now that you can’t fix it.


The same person who broke your heart can’t fix it.

I have to fix it.

I have to be my own hero and fix my broken heart on my own.

I’ve wanted to run back to you and let you put the pieces together again but it’s only temporary. Nothing has changed.

Maybe when something changes and you have a wake-up call we can be together again.

Sadly, I don't see that happening.

You're so stubborn and it's so hard for you to admit your wrong.

I hope that you learn to be selfless.

I hope you learn to love without limits because if you do, we could have that future we talked about for nights on end.

This wouldn't be for nothing.

I know I deserve love, and this is not love.

Love does not leave you a crying mess at 2 A.M. It doesn’t leave you crying yourself to sleep wondering what you did that was so wrong.


Love does not leave you in pieces, struggling to put yourself back together.

I didn’t deserve to be broken down into nothing. I didn’t deserve to cry myself to sleep all of those nights.

How are you okay with making someone feel like this?

Love does not do this to a person.

You never deserved my heart.

So the next time, I’ll be much more careful with it.

I hope you learn to fix whatever makes you think it’s okay to treat someone like this.

But until then, I hope your heart hurts just as much as mine.


I think I'll always love you.

I'll probably always secretly hope for you to do some big grand gesture like you see in the movies. I think you did love me, you just don't know how to show it. I deserve someone that knows what they have and appreciates it while they have it, not after they've lost it.


You only ever appreciated me after I was gone, that's the immature side of you.

I'll search for you in every guy I'm with; I'll find anything wrong with them simply because they're not you.

In all honesty, I might even still hold out hope that you'll change and be the guy I deserve.

I hope that one day there's a part of me that doesn't crave you and crave to be with you.

I know that I was worth it and that I deserve better. That's why I had to leave.

I'm sure you'll spend as many nights out as you can, trying your hardest not to think about me but at some point, everyone has to look at themselves in the mirror and be honest.


I love you, always but I have to love myself too..

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.

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.
