"Anyway, I can convince you and God to let me stay for a bit, it has been too long without you"

Let's be honest, if someone told you could could visit Heaven your response without a doubt be a yes. We all have at least one person we'd want to see. If you don't you haven't experienced loss of a loved one. Losing a loved ones has changed me in so many ways I can't express the feel. I have lost so many people dear to my heart I can't keep count anymore.

I know without a doubt the people I would meet. My grandpa's that I never got the chance to meet. I'm tired of hearing the stories and memories I would've loved to experience with them. It's draining to hear relatives talk about them and you have to pretend you know exactly what they're talking about.

I know I'd love to visit my aunt that passed at childbirth, Karen. My dad's sister, nobody got the chance to formally meet her. I know if I had the chance I would tell her all about the goofy things my dad does, or remind her of how good of a cook he is. Maybe mention that his name is so well known in our opportunity, everyone that has met him absolutely loves him and gave he gave them a positive outlook on life.

Seeing my Busha one last time would be the dream, because she has been in my dreams for last month in a half. Relatives always tell me, I look like her. To be honest, I have no recollection of her, just memories that people have told me. One thing that will always stand out because she called me "Shrimpy" not because I'm obsessed with Shrimp, because her and I were the shortest. With her at 5'1 and myself at 5'5 now. I can see why she called me Shrimpy. I just want to hug her and tell her I love you since I never got the chance to say goodbye, because it was so sudden.

Maybe he could've been a doctor, symphony director, maybe an astronaut but I have be content that he's not in pain anymore. Alex, was a kind hearted soul that never took anything for granted. If someone needed anything he'd be there for you in a heartbeat if he wasn't at a music lessons. I reconnected my bond with him in eighth grade as we're getting ready to be incoming freshmen. Blue and green aren't just my favorite colors anymore they're in remembrance of Alex. Donate Life means, donating your organ, like the person who saved Alex until he passed 2 years ago. Alex and I would tell you to consider becoming an Organ Donor.

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.
