To The Boy I Didn't Want To Fall For

I fell for you harder than I ever thought possible.

To The Boy I Didn't Want To Fall For

Dear you,

I didn't think we'd end up here. I never thought I'd like you, let alone fall for you. You were the complete opposite of what I was looking for. Here's the deal. When I first saw you, it wasn't sparks flying and love at first sight. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel an attraction though. There was definitely something there.

From the beginning, I swore I wouldn't fall for you. I spent a majority of our time together reminding you that I didn't believe in love or relationships. I never thought I'd be wrong, but here we are.

I felt like I could talk to you about anything. I built walls and rarely let people in, but for you, I started removing bricks. I was tearing down the foundation, slowly but surely. I was an open book for you. It wasn't until you, that I felt like I could breathe again. I had spent so much time hiding away, fearing I'd say the wrong things and scare people away. You changed that.

I was always honest with you about my feelings and issues. I was upfront about my intentions and never shied away from the truth. You said you didn't care, that you'd like me no matter what issues we faced. I guess that wasn't true.

See, people these days are so pressured to fall in love. They're in a rush to find that one true person they're meant to be with. You're one of those people. You needed to hear the words, "I love you." You didn't realize how dangerous falling in love was. Parachutes and safety nets are not included. Falling in love shouldn't happen to soon or be rushed.

I fell for you, but you changed your mind before my feelings were revealed. You didn't think waiting for me was worth the time or effort. And that's okay. I understand. You deserve to find what you're looking for me and that's not me.

I fell for you harder than I ever thought possible. I don't regret falling because my time spent with you was not wasted. It was the happiest I've been in a long time. Thank you for that. This may not matter to you, but I needed to get this off my chest.

Love,

Yours Truly

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.
