A Letter To Future Me.
Odyssey

Dear me,

I hope when you read this, you are happy and have your life kind of figured out. If you are reading this, that means that life is going good for you (hopefully). I am writing this to make sure that everything turned out okay for you, and a chance for you to look back on the past you.

When you are having a bad day, remember all the funny times you had during your college years. Remember sharing a room with two other people for your first two years of college. Remember how you guys would stay up until the crack of dawn just talking about your life leading up to college. Or how different each other's family background is, or how scared all of us was to start freshman year at college. Remember how much Ramen you guys ate when you were too lazy to walk to get food.

When you are sitting at your big girl job, remember the road that you took to get there. Remember when you changed your major two weeks before going back to school Junior year. Remember that success doesn't have a straight path. Life takes you crazy places, but in the end it will pay off. Remember you need to have some falls to get to the highs.

When and if you get married, remember who taught you how to love. Remember those times you watched your parents show love to each other. Remember who told you that you don't spell love, you feel it. Actually Winnie The Pooh said that, but remember who encouraged that.

When you are becoming a mom to be, remember who raised you. Remember how your mother raised you to be the best you can be. Remember all the memories your mom made with you, and try to remake the same ones with your future child. Remember to support your child through anything just like how you got support while you were growing up.

I hope you are enjoying the adult world,

Sincerely,

Past you.

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.
