Don't Run Back To What Broke You

The person who broke you cannot be the one to fix you. Remember that. Sometimes in a moment of weakness we want to fall back to what is familiar. It's so easy to do it, but don't. You may be sitting in your room at night, alone, wondering where it all went wrong. You may be missing them, but don't succumb to the loneliness.

No matter how much they claim they change, don't go back. People will tell you what you want to hear. Even if you decided to give them another chance, things won't ever be the same. The beginning of the relationship was really good, and you may never have that again. If you take them back, they may hide who they really are to trap you in. They may act like they have changed, and they may do or say anything for you to believe them. Hard times bring out the worst in people, and you will realize one day, they in fact never changed. You still love them, but you need to realize, you don't love them, you love the idea of them. You are not weak for wanting to go back and thinking they have changed.

Your past is your past for a reason. If you want a new and better life, you cannot go looking for it in your past. Moving backwards will only increase the time it takes you to move forward. You can't continue to go backwards and be with people who are meant to be in your past, if you want to move forward. You had a good reason to let go of the person. Some people just aren't meant to be together, and that's okay.

You are worth so much more. You are worth more than being with someone who hurts you time after time. You are worth more than someone who drags you down constantly. You deserve to be with someone who brings out the best in you. You deserve to be in a happy, healthy relationship. You deserve the very best, and nothing less.

It's going to be hard to deal with the pain and loneliness. It's going to be hard to not pull out your phone and fall right back into their trap. The pain and loneliness will heal, and you will be okay.

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.
