Dear Mr. Commitment-Phobe

I do find something beautiful in pain, though. When someone’s heart breaks so does a piece of our world; this creates fissures, valleys, and even cracks in the pavement.

Dear Man Who Can’t Commit,

What are you doing? Trust me, I understand that you have commitment issues. But look at you, you have me eating out of the palm of your hands. I am giving you everything that I have, even though I know that you might not be able to commit to me. You have been hurt, and I understand that. But do you think that I am going stick around forever? Are you kidding me, yeah, I probably would if I had the chance. But you are keeping this from moving any further.

I appreciate you telling me when we first started hanging out that you had commitment issues, but it did not keep me from falling any harder. I hate that you are hurting because I know how wonderful of a man you are and how kind of a heart you have. But unfortunately, pain changes people. It changed you by making you close yourself off from being happy.

I do find something beautiful in pain, though. When someone’s heart breaks so does a piece of our world; this creates fissures, valleys, and even cracks in the pavement.

At first, I experienced feeling like I wasn’t good enough for you; I thought I had big shoes to fill because of your ex-girlfriend. I felt like I could give you everything that I had and it still would not be good enough. Then I realized that it wasn’t me.

You make me laugh, make me feel beautiful, and are such a caring person. The problem is you treat me like your girlfriend, but you are afraid of the word. You are there for me and it almost makes me laugh that the only thing holding us back is fear.

The fact that you can’t commit does not upset me one bit. Yes, I am a very impatient person, but I have told you a thousand times that I am not going anywhere. I can promise you that my intentions have not changed and I am sticking around if you will let me.

I will never be able to thank you enough for being so good to me. I never thought that I could experience the happiness that you have given me. I have always been told that I should think with my head and not my heart, but I can't shake these feelings. Yes, I am scared too. Scared that in the end, you will not want me.

I pray for you every day because I know the pain that you are going through. I know what it is like to be hurting due to someone else. I would not wish that type of pain onto to anyone else. I pray that things get better for you and that one day you would be able to commit to someone, even if it isn’t me. I hope that one day you can quit hurting. You are such a wonderful person.

With Love,

The Woman Who Can't Let Go

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.
