Dear Peter,

You captivated me the moment you walked into the room. The presence you gave off was strong and overpowering. You were someone who was not my type and I think that was the most exciting part about you. Thank you for giving me the adventure of trying to find Neverland with you. You knocked my walls down and took me by the hand and you showed me how to live outside of my walls. It was a scary moment when it first happened, but then the adrenaline kicked in the disappeared for a moment. I’m sorry that the fun times came to an end a little sooner than expected. There is a big difference between you and me.

Unlike you, I know Neverland does not exist. Spending time with you and Fighting Captain Hook made me realize that this is a life that I do not want to live. I believe there is something bigger in the world for me. Honestly, you are not that something. You are just a lost boy who does not want to grow up because you are scared of responsibilities that life will soon give. Peter, life is not all about the possibilities that life has to offer. Sometimes the greatest thing are simple and they do not have to be complex. Those simple moments in life are going to pass and there is no rewind button to bring them back. Then the only option you have is to fly away and find try to find a way to fill the void in your life.

You fly away when times get too hard and instead of trying to work through them which will help you grow up and help you find what you in life. As for me, I knew my time was short with you, because I knew what I wanted in life and there was no reason for me to run away from my dreams just to be in yours. I want to grow up and find someone who will not fly away when life gets tough. Staying with you would have hurt me in the long run because this is not real life and it is just simply a fairy tale that would not have a happy ending.

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.
