I Found You

Within Me, There Was Always You

14
I Found You
Molly Camille Janusz

I found you in the deepest and darkest place I could have ever found anyone.

I was lost, terrified and needed someone to confide in and you were there.

From the moment I saw you, you were a piece of heaven to me. Little did I know that your words would take my soul and make me new again.

I constantly would gaze as you would walk by, slowly taking air out of my lungs and filling the atmosphere around me with a hope I cannot explain.

Even in your most desperate times, you held what seemed to be completely solid and strong from the outside, that was wilting within and made it seem like nothing could stop you. And the truth is, nothing could.

You rose to the occasion that you desired. You changed your body and mind to be someone you had desired to be forever and did I ever think that you would be able to change mine with a few simple words?

You took my thoughts and put them into a bubble that I could actually comprehend and make sense of. How could you possibly do that? No one could.

I found you in the caverns of my heart, lying around, waiting to make a change inside of myself and yours. Little did I know that you would teach me the lessons I never knew I needed to learn and that you, too, would change and quit the bad habits that consumed you.

You told me never to do something that didn’t make my heart 100% happy; if you weren't going to be fully consumed by it, then don’t let it take control of you at all.

I found you in a place of willingness to become a better person. You showed me how you were able to raise yourself up from a place you were stuck in and really had no desire to be in and taught me that I too, could become better. I could become a healthier version, someone who was able to rise up to any occasion given and be able to stand strong and say: I believe in myself.

I found you in a complete place of solitude.

You taught me that the only way to be completely content and happy is to be in complete solitude with yourself; to be one within your own body, mind, spirit and soul. You taught me to be more than I could ever be within a few short conversations that were simplistic on your end, as you had already discovered these little wonders that would forever change my life.

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.
