An Open Letter To The People That Tore Me Down

I hope that one day you will realize you are enough without taking what others have.

To people that made me feel less than I am:

The first thing I need you to know is that I forgive you. Though it may have taken a very long time, I did it.

Next, I have to honestly say that I feel bad for you. It is truly unfortunate that you were so insecure about yourself that you had to tear someone else down. Did tearing me now make you feel worth something? Did it make you any cooler? Did it make you any happier? Maybe, for a second, you became the person that everyone was interested in. Maybe, for a second, people believed that you knew something they didn't. But you know what, the second people found out the truth, you were right back to where you began. Next time you think about tearing someone down, think of what it did to you too, since you are clearly selfish anyways.

The funniest part was they didn't know the first thing about me. The only me they knew was the person that they were making up. They never got the chance to know me because they never made an effort. But that is okay; they didn't deserve to know the real me.

I am actually grateful you made me feel like a worthless person. You made me who I am today. Because of all you said my relationship with God became better than ever, and I honestly couldn't be more grateful. Psalm 31 is a cry to God for His protection from the people that spread lies and tear you down.

I prayed every day for you. I prayed that one day God would take all the hate in your heart and turn it into love. I prayed that one day you would realize what you had done didn't actually make you happy, it didn't actually make you any better of a person, and it didn't actually make people love you more. I prayed that you would never feel as low as you did when you had to take away everything from me to make you feel alive. I prayed that you NEVER made someone else feel as I did, because no one deserves that.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
