To The Boy Who Only Wants Me On His Terms

The back-burner is no longer where you'll find me.

Dear You,

It's hard for me to know how to start something I hoped I'd never have to write. I thought it would turn out differently, and honestly, I thought this wasn't who you were.

But unfortunately, here we are.

You only want me at your convenience. When things are good, they're great, but most of the time, they're not because of whatever excuse you decided to come up with that day. That's where a lot of this problem lies: everything has to revolve around you. Whether or not you want to talk to me depends solely on whatever mood you happen to be in at that time. You like to come around when you're bored or need something, acting like I'm not smart enough to see that. I'm done with this, though.

So, next time you decide to hit me up because it's late or you're bored, don't look for a reply from me. I deserve better than this- a lot better actually. I deserve someone who is willing to stand by me through it all, not just whenever he feels like it or thinks he "might have time" to listen to what I'm going through. You've created an emotionally exhausting cycle that left me feeling inadequate, and I refuse to take a part in it any longer.

The sad thing is that you don't even know what you lost. I would have walked to the ends of the earth for you, but you were too busy chasing other things to realize what you had. It's okay, though, because I'd rather be alone than with someone who doesn't recognize or respect my value.

Whether or not you even read this, isn't the point. The point is that I'm not the only girl that has felt like this and there are others that need a little reminder that they are worth so much more than that. A guy who only wants you on his terms is a guy no girl needs in her life, and I'm thankful I finally realized that. I wish you the best in life, just know that it doesn't include me anymore.

With upmost sincerity,

The Girl You Didn't Have Time For

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.
