Open Letter To My Favorite Song

Open Letter To My Favorite Song

Dear (insert song title here),

First of all, I just want to say thank you.

Thank you for bringing me joy during countless walks to class, drives in the car, and study sessions. Thank you for cheering me up when I'm sad, and motivating me to keep working when all I want to do is take a nap. Thank you for also bringing joy to my friends, after they finally accepted that you are amazing, and that they shouldn't hate you just because I play you way too much. The amount of times I play you a day and sing along aggressively to myself, (or as an unwanted concert to others) whether it's in the shower, the car, or my bedroom, is really a problem, but it just shows how much I truly love you.

However, even though I love you more than any other song in the world right now, I know that this love won't last.

Eventually, after approximately the 600th play, we will find that we've grown tired of each other. It's not your fault -- you're still amazing, but I will realize that I've done it again; I jumped into this relationship too quickly and with too much intensity, and that means that I will have overplayed you to a ridiculous degree. This is a problem that I have every time that I find a new favorite song. You'd think I would have learned from my mistakes by now, but I don't think I ever will at this point.

Even though it will be sad in the moment, in the long run, a break will be good for us because one day in the near future, probably in a month or so, I will begin to miss you.

When I start to miss you and think about all the good times we had together, you will find your way back into my car and study playlists. Hearing you once in a while will be a good start to our new relationship, one that will bring back fond memories of the times when I listened to you any chance I had and the nostalgia for whatever I was going through when I first heard you. Even though it will be different from our initial relationship, ultimately our new arrangement will be much stronger and more sustainable than what we had in the past.

I hope that once we're past this phase of my listening to you every free moment I have, we can stay close and eventually build the new relationship that I have had with so many of my other favorite songs. Even though we may get tired of each other soon, I think we have real potential.

Love,
Person that listens to you 100 times a day.

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.
