An Open Letter To Mets Fans From A Yankees Fan

Dear New York Mets Fans,

The New York Mets are going to the World Series. Congrats! That’s a shocking statement for some to hear. The Mets have not been in the World Series since 2000 when the Yankees beat them in the Subway Series. The Mets have not won a World Series since 1986.

You guys should be elated to be back in the World Series after a 15 year drought. Some of us Yankee fans are happy to support the Mets this post season. However, you guys are not welcoming the support.

I get it. Us Yankees fans are used to winning. We don’t necessarily understand the pain of losing year after year. This season we fell short. This postseason we were unable to make it past the AL Wild Card round.

Now, many of us Yankees fans are excited to see a New York team representing in the World Series. We are use to fall baseball. This season we don’t get that luxury.

Now that the Mets are going for the world title, we want someone to cheer for. What better way to enjoy baseball then to support another New York team?

We are not trying to claim that we have been Mets fans forever. In fact, we are aware of our temporary respect for you guys. Come spring, we will be back to only enjoying Yankee baseball. At least we can admit to that.

You can call us bandwagon fans all you want, but the more support the merrier, right? It’s time for another New York baseball champion.

You can say I’m not a true Yankees fan all you want, but I am fan of the Big Apple. I respect how far you guys have come over the years. Murphy has been outstanding this postseason. His home-run streak is impressive. David Wright is a leader. His leadership qualities resemble much of Derek Jeter and that is the ultimate compliment in a Yankees fans eyes. Terry Collins has turned the team around, which deserves a tip of the hat.

I’m sorry if you aren’t welcoming of our support. But, we are here until the end of the postseason. Good luck to you guys. I wish you nothing but the best.

I can’t believe I’m writing this, but Go Mets!

Sincerely,

A Yankees Fans Wishing You Luck This World Series

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

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.
