An Open Letter To My Friend That Lives In Heaven

Dear Angel,

Boy do I wish I didn’t have to write this letter. I hope that you know that we all miss you so much. I can’t believe that you’re gone. It’s still so real and so raw, even though it’s been several months.

It feels like it was just yesterday that we were on the phone laughing about all the memories that we’ve shared. God, do I miss you. I miss the late night conversations, the laughing and the crying. I bet you are having so much fun up in heaven. I consider myself blessed that I have you as my guardian angel.

When you were called to heaven, I felt nothing but pain and sadness. I didn’t know what to do when I heard the news that you flew up to heaven. To this day I’m still devastated that you aren’t just a phone call away. I’m still broken that I will never see your beautiful face again.

There is one thing that I want you to know: I want you to know that you are so loved and missed. You have so many people that think about you every second of the day. I can’t imagine the pain that your parents are feeling, but I do know that a piece of my soul went with you the day that you passed away. You brought so much light into my life when all I saw was darkness. You made me smile when all I wanted to do was curl up in bed and cry. You always made sure that I knew how much I meant to you.

I appreciate you more than you will ever know. I will never forget about the late nights, the teasing or the sneaking out just to see you. Thank you for being a part of my life. Thank you for showing me the good in this cruel world. You were such a beam of light and I love you so much for that. I love you for always putting other people before yourself. I hope you know that you left your mark here on Earth.

Words will never be enough to describe how much of an impact you had on my life. I ask God every day why he had to call you home so early. Everyone says that everything happens for a reason, but to this day I still don’t understand the reason why you had to leave us. I was taught that God has a plan for all of us, and I have no other choice than to believe in Him and what His plan is. I also believe that when my time comes, you will be waiting for me and we can laugh about everything - and everything will be OK.

I love you, forever and always. Fly high, angel.

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.
