An Open Letter To The One I'm Sick Of Arguing With

Believe me when I say, I’m happier without you.

An Open Letter To The One I'm Sick Of Arguing With

They say that you don’t realize what you have until it’s gone, and that reality has hit you harder than ever. I used to wish that I could apologize for hurting you… wait. No. I used to wish that you would apologize for hurting me. But then I realized you didn’t hurt me, you didn’t break my heart. But if I broke yours, I’m not sorry.

After a two and a half year relationship, and eight months after our break up, you’ll still argue with me, because you’re still too ignorant to see the real issue.

We can argue every day about non-existent good morning texts, and the amount of times that you didn’t take the time out of your “busy” life to ask how my day was going. And we can argue because I won't lie to you and say that I want you to move back here. Believe me, I'm being honest when I say that you can stay right where you are.

And we can argue about your daily text conversations with other girls, and how she asked you to cuddle in her basement with a bottle of wine and a movie. And I can sit here and cry, cry because I forgave you and took you back, even after reading those texts.

And we can argue about you texting your friends and asking if you happened to fall onto anyone’s lips last night. And we can argue even further about the response: that you did. Shall we go even further? Sure. We can argue about how you had the nerve to come to my house the very next day and not tell me about your eventful night. And I can sit here and cry, cry because I was stupid enough to forgive you even after reading that text.

And we can argue because you asked me for a breaktwice… And why? Because I was overwhelming you, and you wanted to be able to hang out with your friends without having to feel like you needed to text me, or worse, invite me. And I could’ve sat in my room and cried, but there were no more tears left, so I let you go.

And you can try to argue with me because I didn’t wait for you, and because I hurt you. But I’m still not sorry.

But, even after all of those arguments, you still don’t see it.

I’m the bad person because I found someone who appreciates me for who I am, who doesn’t think that I’m overwhelming. Someone who doesn’t constantly argue with me, because guess what… I’m not crazy. And I don’t even have to ask for a good morning text, because he’s the first person I see every day, and if he isn’t there, he goes out of his way to ask me about my day. And he invites me over, even if his friends are there. He even invites my friends, too. And he doesn’t make me cry. He would never. And that’s all I’ve ever wanted, and believe me when I say, I’m happier without you.

My only wish for you is that one day you can move on and be happy, too.

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.
