Thank you for teaching me some things

To the guy who ended up not being the person I thought they were,

It is 2018 and it is the year that everyone is shooting their shot. You shot your shot. You had me, I was yours and all yours. Even without the title. You made me feel like the only girl in the world and made me realize that all the shit of my past was not to destroy me, but to make me stronger. Well looks like you are now a part of the making me stronger. I opened up to you. Told you things that I have not told anyone else. Trusted you with my secrets, my heart, and most importantly my trust. That all went out the window didn't it? Never underestimate a girl's ability to find out something, especially if you are lying, because we always find out eventually. And what do you know, you got caught. But ya know what? I am not going to let this shit destroy me again. I will not let you win. I will not sit and think what I could have done better. But I will thank you for a few things.

Thank you for showing me that people do in fact show their true colors after about a month and a half of talking. You were right, once someone is comfortable they show a whole hell of a lot more about themselves. Thank you for showing me that I can do this on my own. I do not need you like I thought I did, how does that make you feel? Thank you for showing me once again who I deserve in my life and who I do not. Thank you for teaching me another life lesson that will in turn make me that much stronger of a person. But ultimately, thank you for not wasting my time longer than you did.

Hopefully the next girl that comes your way gets better treatment than I did. Hopefully you actually do not lie to her and do hold the idea of communication to the standard you set it so highly at. Next time just be upfront and honest and communicate and this will not happen.


From,

The girl who trusted the person you were at first

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.
