If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away

Thank you to my guardian angel.

If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away

A letter to my guardian angel,

It’s been over a year since I’ve seen you. Boy does it feel like just the other day we were in the kitchen cooking peach pie and dumplings. I know it’s selfish to want you back down here on earth, but I do. What I would do for one more hug, one more life lesson.

I hope you are having a ball up there with the angles, and I can’t wait ‘till I get to join you one day. But until then, keep watch over me. I know I’m probably going to get myself in trouble at some point or another, but protect me please. I ask you to not only watch over me, but watch over my little brothers and parents, God knows we miss you so much.

I know you would be mad if you knew how much I cry when I think about you, you never liked it when I was upset. But I cherish every moment I ever had with you. I remember every word of our last conversation, and we had no clue that it would be our last. You told me to go to my dream college, forget about boys, and do what I love to do. And that’s exactly what I’m doing. I wish I could pick up the phone and call you to tell you all about everything that’s going on right now, but I know you see what I’m doing. I know that you are here, I can feel your presence all the time.

About a week before you left us here on earth, I got a text message from you that was a quote that said, “But what if I fall? Oh but my darling, what if you fly?” You would slap me if you were still here because I got it tattooed on my arm a few months ago, you never were a fan of tattoos. But it is a daily reminder to not be afraid to take a leap of a faith, to try something crazy. Because of you I am chasing my dreams, and fear of falling is not ever going to slow me down. I know I will not fall, because you are watching over me, you are protecting me, and you have faith in me.

I hope heaven is great. I hope you have all the animals you’ve ever wanted with a big farm house. I can’t wait to be with you again. See you soon, xoxo.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
