You made me feel that I wasn't enough when in reality you just never saw my potential. You never cared about my growth as a person you were too focused on yourself. You didn't have to be so selfish, you could have tried to build me up the way I built you up. You didn't love yourself so you made it impossible for me to love you. Once I found people who actually love me I realized how detrimental you were to my health. You didn't care whether I was having a good day or a bad day, you just wanted me there for your convenience. You didn't care about me at all actually, whether I got home okay or if I was having a bad day.

You only wanted to focus on yourself but that gave you no right to break me in the process. You could have done that and told me you weren't ready, but you tried to convince yourself you were ready and you hurt me so terribly. But that's okay, for we live in a generation where hurting people is okay, it's a way of life. I just wish I didn't have to fail victim to your childish ways. Real men own up to what they want they don't deceive people and hurt them just to realize that person wasn't enough. People need to figure out themselves first before they go and damage other people just to figure out that they weren't enough. I knew I was enough and I was more than enough. People make excuses just to treat people terribly and it's disgusting. If you don't know what you want stay single until you figure it out, no need to break kind people because you're indecisive.

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.
