A Farewell Letter To A Dead Landmark

You will be missed.

A Farewell Letter To A Dead Landmark
Google Maps

A couple of days ago, levittownnow.com announced the end to a local landmark dear to the surrounding resident's hearts. This house is next to the local Wawa and has been known by many as the never-ending yard. It housed an array of objects from various children's toys to larger objects such as a boat. It was a local landmark meaning that everyone who lived nearby knows exactly what you are talking about when you mention the yard sale house. Several days ago, most of the yard sale objects were cleaned up and are still being cleaned up. It seems like the days of that house's legacy is over. I happen to live near this house. I felt it would be best that I wrote a farewell letter to house's yard in an attempt to me any needed closure.


To the seemingly never-ending yard sale,

It seems your time has finally come. I can honestly say I will miss you immensely.

For years I would take walks and would see you. When I was younger and bored, I would come up with various stories as to how the yard became the way it did.

You helped out so many people when they were giving directions, both tourists and residents. Without you, take out drivers, repairmen, and ups drivers would not know how to get places. Although I cannot give directions to people by saying "the house with the junk or yard sale," I can still say "the place that used to be the yard sale house."

And although there are no things left for sale, you will not be forgotten.

Sincerely,

The girl that saw you everyday

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.
