An Open Letter To My Furry Best Friend

We have all had to say a tough good-bye to our furry friends.

An Open Letter To My Furry Best Friend
Katrina Homovich

Who knew someone so small had so much influence in my life.

Pets seem to have such an influence. So much energy is packed into their little furry bodies, yet they can be the only ones to bring light to life. Even though they can not talk, they stick by your side regardless what goes on in life. This is dedicated to all pets that crossed the rainbow bridge too soon.

To my best friend,

Thank you for being such an influence on my life. As little as you knew what was going on, you have helped me overcome any obstacle that was thrown at me. Even though you could not talk, little did I realize how much of an impact you would have on my life. You have shown me true strength, compassion and, most importantly, love. The connection we had between each other was indestructible; no one could tear us apart. We grew up and spent most of our lives by each other’s side.

I won’t forget the day I brought you home from the shelter to live with your new family. You were scared, you didn’t know what would happen. But, you soon realized this is home and this is your family. You started eating family dinners with us, playing family game night, cuddling on the couch during cold winter nights. I soon realized I wouldn’t want life any other way.

The time came too quick, but I knew I had to be strong. It was not an easy time, but you were happy. After you were gone, I knew how important you were in my family’s lives. You became a part of our family, a part that will never be forgotten. You are probably running around in pet heaven having the time of your life. Thank you for being such a huge part of my life and sticking next to me.

They may be a small part of your life, but you are their entire life.

Sincerely,

Your Fur-ever Family

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.
