It hurt when you left

To the one who left

Before I met you, I accepted the fact that people come and go, everything happens for a reason, and blah blah blah. I didn't care about who showed up and who left because I already had my circle with me. When I met you I was already aware of who you were and I didn't care for who you were because like I said, I already had my circle.

As time went on, we got closer and somehow I found myself opening up to you more than I ever thought. I had my close friends, my roommate at the time, and my circle. But you were someone I was able to connect with more than anyone, you were someone I was able to talk to more than anyone, and I was able to be myself around you and finally let my guard down. I was able to show you there was more to me behind the sarcasm I was using as my walls. As months passed from November to December, we've reached closer than ever, and I was happy more than ever that I had someone that I was able to talk to and be myself around. It felt like nothing could go more perfect.

But once April came, you pulled me aside and told me you couldn't do this anymore, and you left, just like that. I didn't know how to react, I went to my room and I screamed and cried. That was when I felt the most broken, numb, and alone. And the worst part was the one person I needed the most walked out on me. I didn't understand it, I couldn't understand it. How could someone who I opened my heart to leave me like it was nothing? Like I was nothing? And it hurt so much seeing you with your friends, how happy you are, and how happy you were without me.

Fast forward to almost two years later, and I've received the closure that I've been looking for after being so broken and confused for so long. Only this closure was the type of closure that was received by talking and communication. We've both moved on, we became different people. So by being different people we were able to somehow talk as if nothing have happened. As if you never left.

So I just want to say thank you. Not for leaving, but for teaching me that people will come and go. And people will leave, but sometimes it's those that come back and stay, that are the important people.

Sincerely,

the one who stayed

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.
