An Open Letter To The Coolest Kid Ever

Dare To Be A Hotdog
www.today.com

First of all, if you're not familiar with the little girl I'm talking about, I'm referencing the coolest kid on this planet. A few days ago, I was scrolling through Facebook and saw a viral post about this inspirational little human. Apparently, it was "Princess Day" at the little girl's dance class and she showed up dressed as a hotdog among all the other children dressed up as their favorite Disney princesses. A few days later, I shared a meme that said, "In a world full of Princesses, be a hotdog" and in reality, it's true. The bottom line? This kid gets it. She is so wise beyond her years and she doesn't even realize it.

Dear Little Dancing Hotdog,

You are definitely the coolest person I know of, I don't know any other person that would have the courage to be their truest self as you have and I want you to know that your bravery is one of the most important and rare qualities a person can have. I understand that You're young and you may not be concerned with things like this right now, but I want you to know that later in life you will be told by so many people that it's not right to be a hotdog. These people are everywhere unfortunately, and they can be rude, selfish, and even mean, but stand your ground. Don't be afraid to be different from everyone around you, after all, there is only one you and you have the right to become anything you want to be. There will be times when you'll look at the other people, dressed up like royalty, and you'll wonder, "Why did I do this? Why can't I just be normal, like everyone else?" You're not normal because that's not who you're supposed to be, you were not born to blend in with everyone else. You were created by God to be the best version of yourself possible and I hope you honor your individuality to the best of your abilities. I want to thank you so much for being such a light to everyone and bringing everyone so much joy, I know as you continue to grow up, your personality and perspective will continue to shine. And if you ever find yourself down because you're a hotdog, just remember that you are so amazing and you have the power in your heart to make the world better. So, go and be the best hotdog you can be, little one. You're going places, kid.

Keep Shining,

Hannah

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.
