An Open Letter To The One Who Tells Me To Keep The Faith
Abo Ngalonkulu

There are people in your life who’s best interest is to look out for you. Whether you believe in God or not, you have to have faith in someone, whether it’s yourself or someone/something else.

Dear Person,

Thank you for never letting me lose my faith. You know how much it means to me when you remind me that I am doing some kind of good in this world. You know how much it means to me when you remind me that God has a plan for my life. Thank you.

You make me talk about the things I just want to keep in because you know if I hold it in, I’m going to burst, and you don’t ever want to see me like that. You make sure I talk everything out so that I don’t get too stressed out. You always pick me up when I fall down. Whether it’s a bad test grade or a bad day, you’re there to lift my spirits and make me smile. Thank you for reminding me that I am good enough. Thank you for reminding me that I am strong enough.

You always have my back, even when I procrastinated my work until the last minute and I’m complaining about how hard it is. You remind me that I can do it. You are constantly supporting me and I think that’s what helps me get through some of my bad days. You understand that I am insecure with myself and you are trying your hardest to make that insecurity go away.

You support me when I have crazy ideas and you steer me away from the not-so-great ideas too. You look out for me and stop me from doing things that are not in my best interest to do. Your main goal in our friendship is to make sure that I am happy. I hope you know that that is my main goal too, to make sure you are happy. You tell me not to sacrifice my own happiness for other people’s happiness because sometimes it is not worth it. You remind me that I need to take care of myself first sometimes and that it is okay to do so.

You keep reminding me to keep my faith because you know how much my faith means to me. Every once in awhile, I need that nudge from you to remember that God has my back too. You tell me that He has a plan for me. During my rough days, when something good happens, you remind me that that is God telling me that He knows I have been working hard these past few days and He is making sure that I have something to look forward too.

I don’t need something to look forward to when I have you. Each day is a blessing because you are by my side. Even though I’m crazy and emotional, you have stuck by my side and I wouldn’t change that for the world. I don’t need rewards and compliments, I only need your friendship and love.

I just wanted to say thank you for all that you do for me and for all that you say. You are a blessing and you are my sunshine. You brighten up my life and the lives of everyone around you.

XOXO

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.
