A Letter To The Guy Who Unexpectedly Broke My Heart

You are shallow, inconsiderate, and my God are you selfish. Yet somehow you still broke me.

A Letter To The Guy Who Unexpectedly Broke My Heart

I've been told that the relationship after a toxic relationship will be the hardest one. And it was. I needed a lot of reassurance, which you were good at, at first. I explained my hurt to you. I talked to you about some of my darkest moments. I broke down my walls for you. We would laugh for hours together. Then you left.

But you didn't actually leave; you simply stopped putting in effort. The good morning texts stopped and I no longer heard from you until the evenings. You stopped calling me babe or baby; which I know to you seems so silly, that I got upset over that. But I got upset over it because I could feel you slipping away.

I held on so tight for so long. Too long. I let you pop in and out of my life, secretly hoping you would come to your senses and stay. But you didn't. I even entertained the idea of our relationship just being sex. Thinking that maybe you would miss what we had at the beginning and miss how caring I was to you on. But again, you didn't.

You quickly turned into this guy who didn't know what he wanted. You told me you liked spending time with me. You told me I was amazing and that if we didn't work out that it would be your loss; yet you let me go.

You left me so confused and hurt.

The saddest part is that I have questioned my worth every day because of your indecisive decisions. I keep wondering why I wasn't enough. I can't wrap my head around the fact that it was so easy for you to act like I didn't exist. Especially after I would re-read our text messages all the way from the beginning. I sit here and cry wondering where it all went wrong. And I know, you probably think I'm being dramatic but little do you know, you're the first guy to make me feel alive again. And that to me, was special.

So you broke me. You destroyed whatever peace I had created inside myself. I now feel like I took ten steps back from all the progress I've made. It hurts. I want the pain to stop. I wish I could go back to the day we met because I would have stayed in bed all day so that I could save myself from the heartache you've caused.

We grow up watching fairytale movies with the picture-perfect endings. We watched love grow and prosper in ways, 9 times out of 10, doesn't happen in real life. Love is so complicated. I believe what we had was more complicated than it needed to be. I believe that you didn't put your all into this because you're scared it could be the real deal. I feel sorry for you because I know what I have to offer and I know you will now look for me in every girl here on out. But you won't find a single girl that is down for you the way I was. It truly is your loss, baby.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
