An Open Letter to My Favorite Singer

If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be who I am today.

An Open Letter to My Favorite Singer

Dear Rob Thomas,

You don't personally know me, but I know you. Your music keeps me going, and for that I'm forever grateful. If it wasn't for you, your band and the music you make, I probably wouldn't be who I am today.

Your music became appealing to me when I was somewhere around 10 years old, give or take a few years. My dad, brother and I used to go to a local park and look for deer while my mom cooked dinner at home for us, and your song 'Unwell' would always come on as we were leaving to go home. I'm almost positive it was always around 6pm too. I knew the song by heart after a few weeks, but never knew who sang it.

One day, I got my first MP3 player, and I went to download the song. I found the name of your band, and I looked up more songs. Then, I figured out you went solo for a few albums, and I quickly fell in love. The day I found all your songs was the day my life truly began. My first concert that I ever even went to was the one at Jones Beach in NY on August 17th, 2013 where you played with the Goo Goo Dolls, that was amazing, and I totally cried when you came on stage.

I will never skip one song of yours when it comes on either on my phone or the radio, and I instantly break out into singing wherever I am, even if it's at work. You've tweeted me back a few times too, and that has made me the happiest fan ever.

One thing that I truly admire about you is your love for animals. You and your wife do so much for them, it's truly amazing. I love animals myself, so we totally have something in common! I also admire the fact that your music is different, it's the only thing I basically listen to other than some of the popular songs on the radio at the time or my favorite country songs. It's not the same as the rap you would hear now a days, and I appreciate that you still keep that class in the music industry.

If I ever felt like not trying, whether it was at school or just in life, I would listen to your music and it would make me realize that if you can be successful at what you do, I can be successful with whatever I do in my future. You're my idol.

Keep up the awesome music, I can't wait for many more years of amazing songs!

You're #1 Fan,

Katie.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

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.

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.
