I discovered my best when I Was at my worst

Before you, I gave up on the idea of true love.

I discovered my best when I Was at my worst
Hailey Birney

Living in a generation full of boys who think girls are just another game gets frustrating.

Before you, I gave up on the idea of finding "true love". Before you, I thought I would never find a guy who could love me for me. Before you, I thought I was never good enough.

I watched my friends go into relationships like it was a normal thing. No, I wasn't jealous of them; I just let myself go for the wrong guys.

I remember the first time meeting you. I was the new girl, and I thought I was an outcast; no one knew me. Not going to lie, no one caught my eye nor did I desire to find someone to fill that spot in my life.

But then I saw you. Cliche, yes I know. But seeing you be yourself, with your friends, just dancing and having fun at prom, was weird.

Your smile lit up the room and, I swear, my heart fluttered. "I'm going to have that guy over there" are the exact words I said to my friends.

Look where we are now.

Being with you is like a breath of fresh air. You give me the true feelings of happiness, something I never had. I don't think I'll ever get tired of you. Maybe I'll get tired of the three things you only ever eat, but never you.

You give me hope. The way you stare at me, with your big blue eyes, will forever give me butterflies. You give me compassion, and you never fail to make me feel like I'm the only girl in the world.

I'm completely and utterly in love with you.

You always tell me, "I wish we met sooner", and that line melts my heart every time. The way you speak of our future together gives me a feeling I've never felt before. There isn't one person in this world that can make me feel the way you do.

"You're my sunshine on my darkest days," Jason Aldean says.

I don't think anyone would be able to put up with my attitude and mood swings like you do. You just brush them off like it's nothing. The way you stroke your thumb against mine when we hold hands will ALWAYS be the death of me.

With you, I can be me. I don't have to fake laugh, or think to myself, "Oh, he's totally going to think I'm weird." Because if I do something weird, you're just going to laugh at me and 110% of the time tell me you love me.

All of the pain and heartache I've been through is now worth it. You make me a better person, and you make me see things I would never have seen before.

I just want to say thank you. Thank you for being the light at the end of a dark tunnel. Thank you for always being my shoulder to cry on. Thank you for being everything I have ever wanted.

You mean so much more to me than you'll ever know.

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.
