To The Guy Who Cares Too Much, But Just Enough

You may seem like you're "just being nice", but that means the world to me.

To the guy who thinks he cares too much,

Let me put this in the simplest way possible: you don't. You don't care too much. In fact, you care just enough. The loving way you hold me in a hug and kiss my forehead are just a small fraction of the caring things you do. I could write a whole article about what an amazing person you are, but for right now, I'm just going to put your mind at ease and tell you the caring things you do.

You may seem like you're being overbearing but in reality, you have a big heart and don't want to see me get hurt. I'm fragile but have tough skin. You know that the world is a scary place, so you want me to stay safe. No guy has ever done that for me, other than my dad. Being on my back about going to classes and taking medication are mundane things that I already know how to do, but recently, I've needed the extra push to get things done. Having you here to physically move me so I will go about my day may be annoying to you, but it shows me just how much you genuinely care about me.

You managed to turn a 15-minute walk into a 3-minute sprint solely because you were scared for me. If that doesn't say "I care", I don't know what does. You knew that I could take care of myself, but you wanted to do this for me. I may have been mad at you, but I saw how much you cared, and that honestly scared me. I'm not used to having someone like you care about me in this kind of way. You even set everything up, just for your sanity. This may be something small, but it means so much more than that.

You are willing to share your biggest passion with me. Though I may not want to learn about it at all, I will ask questions and support you. Only those who truly trust and care for someone will go so in-depth with someone about their passion, and I feel so fortunate to be one of those people. On the flip side, you were willing to support my passions and obsessions just as openly as I was. You may not enjoy them as much as I do, but you give them a try, which is more than I expected when you entered my life.

To sum it up, you are such a caring man, which I am so thankful for. You're right by my side when I feel like trash and when I excel. Sure, sometimes you can be a little annoying with how much you care, but I know that it comes from a place of love and want for me to get better. I'm not perfect, but you treat me as though I am. You accept me for who I am, flaws and all, something I am so insecure about. Thank you for your caring. I hope you realize just how much it means to me.

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.
