A letter to my future self

Dear me,

I hope not eating dessert every night has paid off as well as all the hours I have spent in the gym and studying has as well. I hope you are able to come home and relax with a glass of wine after work every so often. Do you wish there are things I shouldn’t have done? Better yet do you wish there are things that I should have done? Are you happy? Do you like your job? I know, I know, it has its downsides but for the majority do you wake up wanting to go or are you in it for the paycheck? Have you travelled a lot? How many cool things have you seen? I hope you have had a lot of moments that make you laugh. Better yet, I hope you have countless stories of amazing times you have had with friends. Speaking of friends, who are they? Are they the same one’s that you have right now? Have you lost a few a long the way? Who are the new people you find very important that I haven’t met yet? How many of your friends have gotten married? Have you gotten married? Are you in love? If so, congrats! If not you still have time and you’ll find whoever the lucky duck is. Are you still a picky eater? Have you done something completely crazy? Have you finally gone skydiving? Do you still go to bed late and hate waking up early? Has your favorite color changed? I hope you have had so many midnight heart to heart moments with your friends. Have you accomplished all the things I wished that you had? What’s still on the list? What new goals have you set? I hope very little sadness has crossed your path. I’m sure some has and I’m sorry for that but remember that it is only making you appreciate the amazing things that have occurred in your life already and are still to come. I hope you remember that it is only making you a stronger better person. I hope don’t stop singing, dancing, laughing, and loving ever. By now you probably find this note to be cheesy and ridiculous but I hope it has made you think and look back over your life and still look toward the future. I hope you stop worrying so much about life and be better at living in the moment and remember that you are loved.

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.
