25 Things We've Wanted To Say To Our Exes At Least Once

If A Fuckboy Feeds You Any Of These 11 Lines, Honey, Save The Tears & Drop His Ass NOW

If A Fuckboy Feeds You Any Of These 11 Lines, Honey, Save The Tears & Drop His Ass NOW

1. I wonder how his parents reacted

Does his mom hate me? Did his dad high-five him because he's secretly happy I'm gone? Did they scold him for letting a good girl go? I have to know.

2. How soon after this will he get into another relationship?

Should I even be concerned about that? It's not my business anymore. But what if someone tells me?

3. I hope the dog is OK

I think I loved the dog more than him anyway...

4. Will the dog know I'm gone and miss me?

I'm so sorry, fur baby. No one meant to hurt you.

5. I hope his mom hates the new girl

Giphy

I was so perfect. She was practically considering me her daughter already. I'd like to see the new girl achieve that.

6. I'd like to see him do better than me

He can't. He won't.

7. No one else will put up with his annoying quirks, right?

The snoring, the too-loud laughter, the overuse of the word "like"... ugh.

8. I really miss those quirks

They were annoying, but sometimes they were so cute.

9. I hope his friends miss me

I fit right into the group. They have to wonder where I went.

10. If he texts me I'm not answering

Unless it's to tell me that his mom misses me. Then maybe.

11. Should I text him?

No... I can't. Can I?

12. I'm so much better off without him

Who needs boys, anyway? I can handle being single. I'll be fine.

13. I miss him

How can I miss him after all of that? Seriously? Seriously?! This cannot be happening.

Breakups are hard, but conflicting thoughts are harder.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
