An Open Letter to my New Love

I know it doesn't seem like we've been dating long enough for me to say this, but I am happy that I found you. As I sit in the passenger side while you're driving, I can't help but stare over at you and think "I'm one amazingly lucky girl." Isn't that new relationship feeling amazing? It's like you always want to talk to them and be with them and everything that they do is cute to you. That's what I'm feeling right now.

The scary part though in starting a new relationship is realizing that there is a 50/50 chance that it will either last forever or end at some point in time. Hopefully, you and I can make it. Let's be honest, you are just too handsome for words, inside and out. I feel so privileged to call you mine. You have opened a whole new world to my eyes. The kindness in your heart that you have for others and myself is intoxicating. You make it feel as if I have never experienced heartache in my life – that's the scary part. This love I have for you is growing more and more every day and here's why.

Before you, I had given up on finding a boyfriend, I was so over the whole dating scene. I was convinced that I would never find a guy who wanted more than just a physical relationship and begun to think I would never be more than just a "booty call". Then, you came along and changed everything.

Since we have been together, you have shown me that I was worth it. As our relationship grows, my friendship with you grows as well. I am undressing my heart to you and that is deeper than any lust I could ever imagine. I didn't know that doing simple things, like opening my car door was something that boyfriends did. I just thought movies over-portrayed that aspect. I'm terrified because you are slowly, but surely piecing my heart back together, and I'm okay with it. You have been so loving and caring to me, and you are showing me that you deserve my trust. All I've ever known is broken promises, so to start over again wasn't something I imagined I'd be doing, but here I am. You have shown me how I deserve to be treated. Everyone believes chivalry is dead. For a while, I believed it too. And then, you showed up. Chivalry is very much alive, and you are proof of it.

Thank you for showing me that I can be loved the right way. Until you came along, I tried to convince myself that I was happy with the wrong person. I tried to convince myself that I deserved less than what I was. For the first time, there isn't a day that goes by in which I doubt your feelings for me, or my feelings for you. I know what you have for me is real. For the first time, I found someone who wants me just as much as I want to be with them. You've brought me joy and I hope to give that back to you. I finally understand what people mean when they say, "your happiness makes me happy". Thank you for all the adventures and memories we've already made together. I already do and always will hold them close to my heart. Thank you for putting up with me, I know I can be a handful. There are times I feel like I'm being overly emotional and wonder why you still decide to stay and deal with me. Not only do you stay, but you reassure me that everything will be okay, and that I'm not as bad as I think I am and that means more than you could ever imagine. Thank you for letting me vent to you no matter what its about. Thank you for always being so optimistic about everything, it makes harder situations easier to go through. I absolutely love how laid back, relaxed and simple you are, it helps keep me calm when there's a storm in my mind. Thank you for putting up with my bouts of worry, for listening to my problems without judgement, for cheering me up when I'm sad, for understanding when I cry and comforting me, and for never leaving my side. We talk everything out, we understand and accept each other's differences, and I don't believe we could ever stay mad at each other for very long.

There are so many things I could thank you for, but I really want to thank you for being you. You're the most perfect boyfriend I could ever ask for, and I couldn't feel luckier to have you. Thank you for choosing me.

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.
