An Open Love/Hate Letter To Target

Thank you from my heart; I hate you from my wallet.

An Open Love/Hate Letter To Target

Dear Target,

Wow. I don't even know where to begin. Because that is exactly how I feel when I enter your beautiful red doors. Do I start in the woman's clothing section to look at your cardigans or patterned dresses? Do I head straight for the shoes? Do I take a stop in the aisles of affordable makeup? Cute home accessories? Office supplies? Swimsuits? FOOD?

Target, you feel like home. You are the place I went every year to pick out school supplies. You are where I bought my first tube of mascara, and second, and every one after that. You are where I used to get all of my Gameboy games with all of those gift cards after Christmas. You are where my mom always took us when she needed to run errands, and we never complained. Every Target looks relatively similar. RED. So, if ever I need a home away from home, I know that going here, I will never miss the Target.

Target, you are a slice of heaven. In fact, some stores, are a slice of heaven with a scoop of ice cream and sprinkles. Why? Starbucks inside Target. This is the most beautiful thing in the whole entire universe. You can grab your Skinny Peppermint Mocha and do your Christmas shopping IN THE SAME PLACE. Does life get much better?

Here is my problem with you, my friend. I never, EVER spend less money than I thought I would in your beautiful stores. In fact, I always get to the check out and think, "Oh boy, you've done it again, you sneaky little Target, you." I not only have the notebook and pair of socks I originally came in for, but also a set of colored pens, another swimsuit, a candle and nail polish.

So, Target, you are the blessing to my heart and the bane of my wallet. Thanks for always being there, even when you were there for me way more than I needed you to be.

Bullseye.

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.
