Guess what, y'all?!

BASEBALL SEASON IS ALMOST HERE.

Well, technically it's spring training right now which means that regular season is just around the corner.

Baseball has always been my favorite sport and as the years have gone on my love for the sport has grown. From the first game, I ever saw to now my excitement hasn't changed so without question here's my love letter to the game.

Dear Baseball,

It all started when I was really young. My first memory of watching a baseball game was at one of my older brother's games, I was too little understand the game but I knew I liked it.

I still remember the first time I got to go see my favorite team play for the first time. The rush I got when I first walked into the stadium was unexplainable. I was full of pure joy and excitement.

Then the smell of fresh hot dogs and the sounds of the stadium fill my ears. But the first thing I did was run to see the field so that I could soak in every little detail.

Fast forward to the game, hearing all the different sounds of the game from the ball hitting the mitt to the crowd yelling. It was a sight to see for someone like me; so you best believe I was at the edge of my seat.

From that first game to now. I'm still on the edge of my seat with every game I go to. I still get excited when I step into the stadium and there's absolutely nothing like it.

So thank you baseball for helping through the winter blues and coming in clutch during those perfect summer days. thank you for inspiring me to find a career in sports and do what I'm really passionate about.

Love,

Me

P.S. Sorry boys, baseball is the true love of 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.
