A letter from me, myself, depression and anxiety.

As I am already introduced I bet you are super familiar with me. I am your everyday annoyance that sticks with you even through your sleep. Yes, that's me running through your head as you have those wild crazy dreams. I am the thing that doesn't let you get a break because I am literally the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and the first thing you think about what you wake up. Aren't you so lucky to have me?

You know when you're out with the ones you love and you're smiling and laughing but you have an odd pit in your stomach or a weird feeling in your chest, don't worry that's just me. Did you think you could go somewhere without me? Every morning that you wake up wishing for a good day but you can't stop crying it's just me raining on your parade. Some days I will even do this thing where I make you feel like you're totally alone and no one loves you, even though you know damn sure they do. Basically, I am your lifelong worst enemy. I am a monster that dwells inside of the most important part of your human life, your mind. I practically take over your mind on your worst days. Without you there would be no me, so I sure thank you for your existence.

As much as I love you as my host, there are certain days where you totally anger me. The days where I am knocking inside of your head, practically whispering in your ears telling you every worst case scenario, and you ignore me. Gosh, I hate that. I can't stand when you are out occupying yourself with something other than me. It is completely unfair because if you don't feed me by letting me consume you I could die off or something. Maybe one day you would wake up after depriving me of your time and I would be gone. Wouldn't that be horrifying? How could you deprive me, I am with you every single day and that is just completely rude. Every day that you lay in bed with me and cry or think about all the bad things you make me extra happy, but the days you run off and do things and laugh all day are just super sucky.

So as you can see, you threaten to abolish me by not giving me the time of day. I love to be on your shoulders, making you feel like the weight of the world is there. I love to be in your head as you zone out of conversations because you can't stop listening to me. I love to make you feel as if no one understands you because then, I get more time with you. Better yet, you get more time with me and who doesn't want that. You can't leave me behind, I am with you every day. After all, I am your best friend aren't I?

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.
