For Those Of You Who Have Stuck Beside Me Through My Anxiety, Thank You
Christine Gordon

In This Article:

Without these select few people in my life, it would be extremely different. There are some days where its not feasible for me to mentally get out of bed, but you have been there and have supported me through it all. Some days my anxiety is overwhelming and is hard to cope with, but through these moments you have stayed. The fact that you didn't take the easy way out and leave is more than a blessing. So many people have left, but you have stayed.



You have helped me become more healthy as a person. I am so blessed to have you in my life. You are there when I need someone to talk things through. You stay when the rushing of thoughts leads me to jump to conclusions. You are there when I need a good laugh. You choose to be my friend, through the good and the bad. Some weeks its mostly bad, because the humming of my constant anxiety has reached the maxed out side of the bar.

Through this crazy time you haven't reacted negatively. You reassured me when I needed validation, and you tell me you are here to stay. I know I'm hard to deal with, and things aren't as easy as they could be. But know, that no matter what I'm going through I will always put you before myself. Most times when I'm having bad anxiety, I don't always push that on you. But know that I know you care and that you are here for me. Some days I need more support than others, and you have figured me out, and you are here for me through it all. You are so understanding and you treat me like I'm what the average is considered to be "normal".

You are so wonderful. There really isn't enough thank you's for how much you have done for me. Thank you for making my life a bit better when it feels like its chaotic. Thank you for standing my my side and lifting me up when I feel like crawling in the fetal position. Thank you for being one of the best people in my life. You are amazing, thank you for not leaving 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.
