To The Boy Who Cheated On Me

Note: I said boy and not man because if you were a man you would've known better.

To The Boy Who Cheated On Me
EdgySoul

I would've never thought in a million years that you would put me through all that you put me through, but you did. Those brown eyes and that smile hid your manipulative and lying self.

I was head over heels for you.

In my eyes you could do no wrong... And man, was I mistaken.

We had some good times, at least I thought we did. At the end of the day you chose to break my heart. Apparently for you, I wasn't enough. I wasn't good enough. I gave you my all. I was good to you. I gave you the world.

I had plenty of guys who wanted to be with me yet I chose to stay with you. When I look back to what we had, I know that I should've ended things with you sooner or I should've never given you the time of day in the first place.

I'm a simple person, the littlest things make me the happiest. All I wanted was for you to let people know that I was your girlfriend. You couldn't do that one thing for me.

It seemed as if everything I did for you was not enough. I gave my heart to you and expected the same in return but I guess that was too much to ask, huh? I wanted you to love me as much as I loved you.

But hey, if what we had was love it would've never failed, right?

In the Bible it clearly states, "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

I can't remember times that you made me smile. I can only remember the times that you made me cry. That's not love. You'd never take the blame anyway.

So many people were noticing all that you were putting me through and telling me but I didn't listen. I was stupid. I look back and wish I could smack some sense into myself.

With all that being said I want you to know that I forgive you. I forgive you, not because you deserve it, but because I do.

I've learned what I deserve, how strong I am, how much love I have to go, and most importantly... To let go.

Thank you for cheating on me. Thank you for breaking my heart. Thank you for making me realize my worth.


God only knows how much I did for the wrong person.

I can only imagine what I'll do for the right person.

I'm ready and I hope he is too.

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.
