Here's to loving you

When I look at you I see the rest of my life before my eyes

Here's to loving you

Falling in love is great, it might be the most magical thing I've ever experienced.

It was easy for me, looking at you knowing I was going to spend the rest of my life with you. The hard part was opening up to you and allowing you to see me vulnerable and screwed up. You had to see my meltdowns, my anxiety attacks, and my nights that I spend wide awake crying all night. It was hard for me to open up and let you in, because granted I didn't know you. I had known you for a solid ten seconds and I already had our wedding planned and our future children named. Ten seconds was all it took to imagine a giant wedding and the perfect wedding dress and me walking down to isle to take your last name and vow to love you for the rest of my life. You said "Hey" when I walked up to you in the Chipotle parking lot, like you had never seen someone like me before. Like you were planning the same wedding in your head and naming those same children that I had named ten seconds ago.

You have these beautiful brown eyes, and this stupidly stunning smile and I have never fallen so hard so fast. But when I had fallen for you so quickly it was like I metaphorically jumped off of the empire state building to my death because I didn't know what was at the bottom. I didn't know that we would have dates every weekend and live together. And I never knew that I loved skiing, puzzle building or documentaries till I was with you. I never pictured myself living 12 hours away from my family until I met you, and when I met you I had to have you. I never thought I would be able to love like this. I never thought I would love at all. I never thought that I would meet someone like you, but with you everything was different. With you everything came so easy.

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.
