Flagstaff

Sometimes a get away is all you need

Flagstaff

Flagstaff. The city where I fell in love with you all over again. Its like the second we hit the higher altitude all the ill feelings went away. I instantly forgot about the screaming match we had a few days prior. I forgot about the bags packed and the one more "last time of us falling asleep with one another". I forgot about the ring you threw at me and the key to the apartment being left on the kitchen table. I forgot about all the nights that I fell asleep crying asking myself why I wasn't good enough. See the thing is all this forgetting can either be a good thing or it could come back to me and bite me in the ass. I am hoping its a good thing.


Flagstaff allowed us to fall for each other all over again. We shared kisses, you held me close to you at night in that hotel bed. You made me feel loved. It was like the "honeymoon" stage of dating all over again. We talked, we laughed until we cried, we reminisced on old times, and we just enjoyed being with one another.

Our trip was nothing short of amazing. We shopped, we went to this gorgeous brewery, we drank, and we spent the day downtown. It was nice. I was scared to leave though, scared that once we returned home things would go back to the way they were before our trip. I was scared the fights would start again, and scared that you would pack your bags for good. To my surprise things have stayed the same as if we were still in Flagstaff. Its only been a week but I am still happy. I think Flagstaff was good for us. I think it strengthened our relationship. I think it showed us what we had and we both can agree that its something we don't want to lose.

So thank you Flagstaff, for showing us what our love really means.

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.
