To The Boy Who Broke My Best Friend

You did the wrong thing to the right girl.

To The Boy Who Broke My Best Friend
Mark Manson

You had the perfect relationship and friendships, you had everything going for you, but you weren't happy. No one understood what you felt, no one understood what could make you happy, no one understood you. But you put everything at risk for someone or something that could make you happy for only a short amount of time. Well congrats, you did it. You lost everything and everyone for selfish reasons that no one understands but yourself.

You cheated on and lied to someone who loved you more than the world itself. You lost the most important person in your life over someone who won't be around for you in a year or so. Maybe if you wouldn't have lied, you two could have ended it on good terms, but sadly that didn't happen. The truth will never hurt as much as the exposure of a lie. You made her feel like she was doing something wrong. You made her think it was all her fault. You wanted to drag her along for the miserable ride. You wanted her around just in case this new person wasn't worth it. After two months of cheating, you continued to say, "I love you" like those words meant nothing to you, like you just defeated the meaning of love when you spoke them to someone who has been there for you through thick and thin. Someone who didn't know the truth about you, someone who deserved to know the truth when feelings developed with someone but her. A real man ends a relationship before he starts searching for a new one. You broke her heart into a million pieces and I cannot stress enough how much I have grown to dislike you. Over the past five years, you have been always in good terms in my mind, now you mean absolutely nothing to me. She deserves better. 10000x better than you. Well, once a cheater always a cheater am I right? I hope this new person will open her eyes and comprehend that you're not the person that you say you are.

I hope one day you will remember the person you used to be. Someone who was actually caring and considerate of others. Now, you turned into someone you aren't. You might say you can't see the "change" everyone else is seeing but it's there. Just look around you, who haven't you pushed away? Who haven't you ruined relationships with?

I hope she was worth it.

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.
