To The Toxic One-Sided Relationships

Sometimes you just get tired of being the only one trying.

To The Toxic One-Sided Relationships
Alexis Shears

The desire of wanting to be good enough for someone doesn’t come lightly, let alone painless, let’s be honest. You start to question things about you. What if there is something I am doing wrong? Am I just simply are not good enough? That agony does something to you, emotionally and or physically. Every time you feel that excruciating pain,another piece of who you were is gone.

We strive for that one person, so much that risking everything for them is worth it. Despite the fact that they would never do the same for you. You commit to that person,yet in reality you’re just a doll in their dollhouse.They only play with you when they become bored as a result of them knowing you will be right there for them.You give them everything and they rip it from your hands.They go around breaking hearts just to see what is in side. They take everything your heart can offer and feed it to their pride. You then start to realize that they don't see it. They don't see that you had given your whole entire life for them. You go through hell because of that person and yet you still somehow want to be with them.

They take your heart, those unfulfilled promises and walk out that door without you, leaving you with just memories and a heartache. Somehow you still want them to be happy and yet you do not truly understand as to why you want them to be happy. Especially with all the pain they have put you through. Sometimes you just have to say that you want them to be happy to try and move on but nevertheless, deep down inside you still want to be their happiness that they perceived you were to them. But the best thing you can do is just travel on.No matter how far you go, you cannot change that person.

Some things in life are predictable. It's puts your mind to rest for awhile that things turn out just the way they are indeed to be and finally move on. But in life, more often than not, the universe pulls the chair out from under us. Leaving you to self doubt everything. From the bottom of their heart they tell you that their sorry for everything they have put you through. That they never meant for any of that to happen.That they should’ve took more responsibility for their actions at the time and they didn’t.

They don’t truly mean any of those words, because if they did, you wouldn't be reading this today. Sometimes the only thing left to do is to just walk away like they did countless times.You let them in, and they completely destroyed every little piece of you. But it’s okay, because it will all come back around one day.Just remember; you’ve always been good enough, you just might have been giving the best parts of you to the wrong person.

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.
