To The Guy Who Ghosted Me

An Open Letter From the Girl You Ghosted

I want you to know that I don't hold any hard feelings towards you and how you ghosted me . What I mostly feel is disappointed that you didn't have the courtesy to be honest with me. Really, what have we come to as human beings that you can't even be courteous enough to tell me that you don't think this will work out (since you can't exactly say you don't like me because you already told me that you did) or that you're talking to someone else you would rather be with.

Had you just told me honestly, I would have respected your wishes and respected you more as a person. (You can try to justify ghosting all you want, but we all know it's about your feelings and no one else's).

The sad thing is I actually really liked you. I liked you enough that your ghosting me actually caused me, a woman totally sure of herself, to question my self-worth for a minute there. For someone like me who does not date easily, I was ready and willing to start a relationship with you.

I was ready to commit my loyalty and devotion to you. And maybe that is exactly why you ghosted me. Maybe you weren't ready or looking for that kind of loyalty, and it scared you to death. Maybe it scared you enough that you had to run away and disappear (or maybe you're really just a jerk).

The saddest part of this whole thing though is that you ghosting me will hurt you more than it will ever hurt me (cliche but totally true). In the end, you will never find a person as honest and open about her feelings for you as me.

You will never know what utter loyalty and caring from a partner can be. Even if it's not right now, one day you will definitely wish for that kind of trust from your partner, and you won't get it (karma's a bitch like that).

Despite your ghosting act and because I truly still think you are a decent human being, I hope that your experience with me leaves you with the utmost regret so that someday you will have the wisdom to recognize someone or something worthwhile.

Though, I may have emerged from your chapter of my life a little bruised and jaded, I thank you sincerely for saving me from wasting even more of my time on you (for some odd reason, things never work out with people who lie to themselves).

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for reminding me of who I am and for strengthening my resolve to never be someone like you who will discount the feeling of others by not having the decency and courage to be honest and upfront with them. Thank you!

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.

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.
