An Open Letter To An Elementary School Crush
Logan Blount

Dear you (yeah, you)

It has been far too long since we have seen one another. I hope you are following your dreams, and working towards making a name for yourself just as I am. I still have the memories of us joking around and enjoying each other’s company, and I hope you still have them too.

I’ll admit that you were the person everyone told me I like, and I would deny it so fast. You were the person who everyone made fun of regarding liking one another, but neither of you (or just you) never owned up to your true feelings (mainly because you were too young in your parent’s eyes to have a significant other). I imagined life with you at such a young age, and hoped that you and I would be together within the next 10 years. The only thing that held us back was I did not want to ruin the relationship/friendship we already have with you. All I wanted from life with you was to allow us to get closer as the years went on.

Sometime I do not like to think that all hope is gone, and everything is lost. But sometimes you are farther away than I can even wrap my mind around. Seriously you were beyond important to me and I just want you to be aware of this

All of the hope you built up is completely shattered from caring so much about what could happen between you two in the future. Once you left it’s like the world becomes a much different place without your partner in crime. I have come to the realization that you could be happier without me (maybe, probably not) but mainly because I was not the only one you left behind. Some days I would do anything to stop you from leaving who we were because I know we could have fallen in love. After all this time we could have been an “it couple,” gone to prom together, and cheered on our favorite teams.

Maybe one day when our stars cross we end up crossing paths (I don’t know, we’ll see).

Sincerely, the one you did not let get away

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.
