It wasn't my fault...

An Open Letter To The Guy Who Wasted My Time

It's happened to the best of us...

We've all had those almost relationships that leave us feeling unworthy of love. Unfortunately every girl feels it eventually, the heartbreak done by a guy that didn't feel the need to make it official "just yet." These type of situations always leave you feeling unwanted with a lot of unanswered questions.

What did I do wrong? What could I have done better? Why did you lead me on if we weren't going anywhere, and last, but not least, why didn't I see this coming?

You made me feel worthless. If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that you were good at making me feel unworthy of your time and effort. I was only good enough when you had no one else, and sadly, back then, that was good enough for me. I loved being your number one go to, and you knew it. I would pick you up whenever you needed me to because at least I was something in that moment. Unfortunately for me though it never lasted every long, sooner or later I was back to nothing all over again.

You got my hopes up. As soon as I mentioned something about getting tired waiting on you to make it official you'd find a way to make me stay. "Just a little longer," you'd say, but sadly that "little longer never came. It was like I was a puppet and you, the puppeteer. After a while you stopped considering the possibility of us ever becoming something more, and you know that almost as well as I do. At the time, I just didn't want to believe it.

You were a complete waste of my time. I guess the worst part of this is that I was falling for you, and you were never that sure about me. Everything you said, every future plan you made that I was apart of, were just empty promises. I'm lucky enough to know that now.

In all honesty, I've wanted to hate you for the longest time, but I could never bring myself to do it. Trust me I've tried. I have gone through every negative feeling you have ever given me, but I guess it's true when they say: the positive outweighs the negative because all I can do is thank you.

Thank you for showing me that I deserved so much more than you were willing to give. I'm a better person than I was when I was invested in our almost relationship, and for that I am extremely proud, I now know the difference between words and actions and how important it is to put your words into actions. I also know how I deserve to be treated and I've moved on, and I'm so happy to know you're happy as well. I guess what I'm trying to say is, thanks for wasting my time because, in the end it wasn't a waste, not even at all.

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.

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.
