It's Probably My Fault

When is enough, enough?

It's Probably My Fault

Any type of relationship is work and requires give and take. But at what point is enough, enough? This is something I have always struggled with knowing. At what point is it time to walk away or time to keep trying. Is it suppose to be when the relationship compromises my happiness? Maybe, but is it because of something I'm doing? Its not always going to be easy, so I should just stick it out it'll get better.It has to get better, right? This is just a phase. Is it when it clouds my thoughts? But those thoughts aren't just bad some are good, I try not to think of the bad.

Even so the relationship still goes on and there are good moments and I forget my frustrations. I'm still taken for granted, I just choose to ignore it. It's probably my fault, I probably did something wrong. It's because I'm not good enough, I should be better. I should workout more, I should eat less. I should be available. I should be more attentive. I should be nicer. I'm always so busy, I need to make more time.

Here's my story, its sad but true. These are thoughts I've had and they changed me. They made me into a different person. I would look at myself in the mirror and think, "who is she?". People said I was different but I didn't understand. I didn't feel like I'd changed. It's not until you, yourself can take off your blinders and see the person you have become. For everyone this moment is different. For me it was like a light bulb moment, like AH HA I can see it now. Who am I, who is this person I have become? This person is quiet and stagnant. This isn't me. How did I let someone change me into someone else. It happened slowly and then all at once, and I realized I was different. My sunshine was gone and I wanted it back. I had to dig deep down and find myself again. Instead of living for everyone else, I started living for myself. I painted, drew, biked, ran, and took the time to watch the sunset. I said no to others and yes to myself.

I'm a VERY patient person. You can be mean to me, you can treat me awful and I will still be there for you. "If I ever decide to give up on you, understand how much that took out of me. I'm the type to give endless chances, always have your back even when you're wrong and truly accept you for who you are. When the rest of the world doesn't want you, I will. So if I decide to give up on you, understand it took EVERYTHING I had left inside of me to leave you. Because if I care about you and have invested in you, there isn't anything on the planet I won't do for you."

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.
