An Open Letter To My Boyfriend

I truly don't know what to say, but I know you deserve everything I could possibly give you.

An Open Letter To My Boyfriend
Cherisse Dickens

I really can't thank you enough. You're one of the best things that have ever happened to me and I appreciate you way more than I could ever describe. The things you do for me are never taken for granted, even though I know I don't say thank you enough. There are so many reasons that you mean the world to me, and it would take me a 20-page article to describe a million reasons why I appreciate you, but I still don't think that would be long enough.

You're always there for me. Through the rough times in life and the good times, you're there for me. We celebrate and cry together over things and the fact that I finally found someone I'm comfortable enough with to do that around, is something that I could never thank you enough for. I'm grateful that you stand by my side and support every decision that I make, even if it involves us spending time apart.

Having a long distance relationship is never easy, but you make it easy. The fact that you talk to me as much as possible and try to make the time to see me is all I ask for, but you go the extra mile. You manage to make the extra effort to make us work, and that's what makes you so amazing.

You deal with my messed up past. I guess we all have problems and baggage to carry around, but you manage to accept even those worst parts about me when no one else really could. You're stronger than you think you are, and you make me feel stronger than I think I am.

You're just amazing. No one in my entire life has ever showed me as much as you do that you truly care about me. From our late night talks on the phone, to the goofy conversations and dates we go on. You always manage to keep it interesting. Most of all, no matter what, I know you'll be there for me and support me. You'll be there even when you can't and you'll never leave me behind or forget about me.

You go out of your way to make me smile. You make the extra effort to show that you love me by the small, and big things you do. You allow me to fully be myself around you in a way I never could with anyone else. Being yourself is something people rarely do these days, and you make me feel like I actually can.

You make me laugh, smile, cry, and feel every emotion at once. And that's how I know you're worth keeping. For the first time in a while, I can truly say I'm happy and I'm extremely proud to be your girlfriend.

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.
