You were my blessing and my curse

You were my blessing and my curse

It is both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so very deeply. You notice the slightest changes in how your partner behaves and what they say. The way he says your name isn’t the same, the way he looks at you isn’t the same… the love you once felt isn’t the same. Stuck. Confused. Hurt and bruised your heart and ego are on a mend. Where do I begin? How do I begin to pick up the pieces of my hopes, dreams, and aspirations for you and I? For you and I to soar and float through this life unaware of our surroundings… as I am all the scenery, beauty, and escapades you will ever need for the rest of your days… so I prayed. I prayed for you to see me as the woman of your dreams, everything you ever wanted to see and feel... both physically and emotionally I so wanted to be everything you could ever want and need. All the while I was neglecting me. Forgetting to find me in trying to find you. Losing me trying to love you. You were both a blessing and a curse. You blessed me with your light and your ample grin. With so many beautiful conversations I can’t fathom where to begin... You cursed me with your loneliness and dark ways, I tried so hard to shield your heart and give you better days so I stayed… and I prayed. Our romance should’ve danced and twirled for an eternity. I always dreamt of you holding me. We had an exchange of hearts and minds. Plans that should’ve lasted a lifetime. But I believe our time was spent and it was coming to an end.

You were both my blessing and my curse and a little piece of heaven here on earth.

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.
