Have You Found Your People?
Halie Cote

Have you ever gotten to the point in your life where you didn’t know where you belonged? Was everyone making you feel all alone? Were you isolated by your peers? Was someone who showed you that you are someone important or a group of people who proved your worth it?

Throughout life, you have or are going to run into people who make you feel worthless like you're not even there. You’ll also meet the people who will make your life a living hell. Those people who make you feel like that aren’t worth your time.

They’re only putting you down just so they can make themselves feel better or because they have nothing better to do with their time. But then you'll meet people that make you feel like you're worth everything, that you are important. That they truly care for you and are always there for you.

The people that cross your path all throughout your life will either stay or leave. You can’t help but see what happens. The ones that stay are your forever people and the ones that leave are the people that will teach you a lesson even though it takes us 4 to 5 times to get the lesson.

For me, I meet my forever people after I left high school and left JWU and went to CCRI. That's where I meet Halie, Abby, Shelbe, and Bailey. Even though I haven’t known them that long it feels like I've known them my whole life and every second I’m with them I’m at my happiest. Even when they annoy me they’re the only people I trust with my life other than my family.

How Halie and I meet was, she was talking to Abby about the barn and I turn my head so fast because I thought I heard her say “bar” instead of the barn. Abby and I met by a mutual friend. The first day I meet Bailey was very interesting because I didn’t know what to make of him at first anyways he walked up to the table with Halie, Abby, and I and he picks up the Oreos I brought in, he goes to throw them away because he thought they were Halie’s Oreos until they said they were mine.

And Shelbe and I met the same day as Bailey and she just walked over to the table and said hi. For me, meeting new people is hard because I’m very shy and scared because of my past. But they’re more than just friends they’re my family but there are a few more people to add to this family.

The others that are in this second family of mine are the ones that I met at Mishnock Barn and I didn’t say one thing to them when I first met them because it's hard for me to talk to new people. But these people are Becca, Tessa, and Becca’s mom. They have been there for me since I meet them and I couldn’t be more thankful for them.

I never thought I would find anyone like any of these people from Halie, Abby, Bailey, Shelbe, Becca, Tessa, and Becca’s mom it's all new to me to have amazing friends who are more like my family there for me than anything else.

Having them as my family means the whole world to me, I wouldn’t have been able to get through some of the things I’ve gone through without them there for me. Life has been different since I meet you guys and I’m blessed that you're here. I love you guys with all my heart.

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.
