To Baby Sussex, From Your American Fans

We love you.

Dear Baby Sussex,

While you do not have a name, I am so excited you are here. The whole world has been waiting to meet you after 10 months of being in your mummy's tummy. I wanted to write you a few things even though you may never see this. You have the sweetest parents who are raising you the way they are to bring normality into your life. You are the nephew of the future King of England, so, of course, being in the spotlight can seem like a lot of pressure. However, soon it will be normal enough for you, but it must be hard. Hard to not want to go out alone and constantly have people talking and writing about you.

I know you will have a successful and meaningful life.

Your parents apparently want to give you a sense of normality so you understand how the world really is. Your mother came from humble roots on the opposite coast of America than I was from. Believe in what you want to believe in and find causes meaningful to your heart. It could be on kids, the Alzheimer's Association, clean water for everyone, education...the possibilities are endless.

You will be a cute baby — well, all babies are sort of cute, to be honest. You are going to be such a style icon for babies. In the future when I have kids, perhaps I will look to you for style inspiration. After all, your parents have amazing style. On a personal note, enjoy childhood because it goes by fast and it never comes back. Also, enjoy privacy because the world loves you and will write all about you. I'm so happy your parents live in an enclosed home and want to give you privacy. I couldn't imagine living in a home where I felt trapped and like I was always being watched. Best of luck in life.

Sincerely,

Your American fans

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
