An Open Letter To God

Everything happens for a reason right?

An Open Letter To God
PEXELS

Dear God,

I’m not even exactly sure what to say, I wish things were different. I wish I wasn’t writing this from the place that I am, this place of hurt and darkness. Looking for someone to blame for all the bad in the world, all the pain in my life. Seeking hopelessly for some form of answer for some guidance, only to be left alone in the dark.

Life doesn’t make sense, like at all. I find myself trying to make sense of things that simply can’t be explained. It’s overwhelming, this feeling of hopelessness and longing for answers. Its tiring, trying to do good, to do better, to be happy, and just to live. Sometimes I am too tired, and I just can’t really do it. Sometimes, I even think maybe you will respond, maybe I will get some help some guidance. Those are the worst days, sitting, thinking that maybe you will help.

Sometimes I feel like I can’t get it right, that nothing I do is working. Nothing can fix the broken pieces that I have become, can bring me out of the dark spiral that I have swirled down. But then I remember all the good, all of the blessings that do surround me each and every day. The truly special people that have come into my life, the people that have built me up on my darkest days. I remember all of those things, those things are the fuel to the good. The fuel to the power that forces us to keep going. In the event of your absence, I look to the simple blessings for help.

There are so many things I am afraid I will never understand. But maybe that is how it is supposed to be, we are not supposed to understand it all. Although many things are not meant to be understood many valuable lessons can come from those things. When you throw the curveballs, and the hardships, it teaches strength and endurance. Teaches us to love so incredibly deeply, to treasure each moment. I’m not even sure I completely believe in you to be honest, but I do know that there must be a reason for everything that happens. But if you are really out there, I would love a little extra happiness, and maybe little more love in my life please.

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.
