You are my soulmate.

An Open Letter To The Man Who Came When I Stopped Looking

It was funny meeting you, because never before had I been so awe struck about a random stranger. I turned to my best friend and asked who you were, determined to search for an oppertunity to meet you some day. By nature, I tell my best friend the next time we’re in the same room and she tells me to let you know she says hello. I’m hesitant at first, but then think about how amazing it would be to hold a conversation with you.

I strike a conversation with you and manage to push through my nerves and even achieve a few giggles. I’m shaking, sweating, trying my hardest not to mess up my words. You’re so good looking, and smooth, and genuinely kind. Everyone else in the room disappears and I can’t stop focusing on you. You’re almost too good to be true.

I wasn’t looking for love, and you were fresh out of a relationship. Neither of us were exactly searching for a happy ending. However, we exchanged Snapchats and phone numbers anyway. We talked, and talked, and talked. We asked questions, and stayed up all night keeping each other company because falling asleep and not talking was just unacceptable. In the moment, I was euphoric.

Deep down I was scared, and constantly worrying. Was it too good to be true? Were you going to just snap one day and be someone completely different? Days went by, we started spending more time together. The euphoric feeling never left. You were so kind to me, and so good. It felt good to find someone who hated fighting as much as I do. I never wanted this feeling to go away.

You put up with my depressive episodes. You didn’t judge me for my mishaps, mistakes, or any of my flaws. You genuinely loved me and made me feel I’m worth something on this big old planet. You made me feel warm and welcomed. I felt like no matter what I went through, as long as I had you to come back too I could get through it and perservere.

I was scared for nothing, because you haven’t disappointed and I’m so confident that you never will. You are my soulmate. So I just want to thank you for everything you do, and are going to do in the future. I needed you and all the genuine love you have to give in my life and I will always feel like the luckiest girl in the world with you by my side. Thank you so, so much. I love you.

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.
