Dear Future Me

Dear future me,

I pray you are daring, courageous and strive for everything you can dream of. I pray that you have your dream job. I pray you have learned you are capable of whatever you set your mind to. I pray you don't forget what it was like to run around on the playground with no care in the world. I pray you don't forget the first time you met your best friend. I pray you remember all the memories of going to high school football games, driving around town with your best friends (because there was nothing else to do), going to prom and the way it felt walking across the stage getting your high school diploma. I pray that you remember your first date.

I pray you keep your college memories close to heart. I pray that you remember the first time you went to "throw what you know." I pray that you finally realize all the long hours in the library doing homework actually weren't that bad. I pray that as you go your separate ways, you remember to call your best friend just because you miss their voice. I pray that you call your parents because they truly do love you. I pray that you have gotten rid of the things and people that are negative towards you and that have a negative impact in your life.

I pray that you have come to realize your self-worth. I pray that you get to travel the world. I pray that you get to go on spontaneous adventures. I pray that you find the love of your life. I pray that he treats you like a princess. I pray you have the wedding you have always dreamed of. I pray your honeymoon is as magical as it should be.

I pray that when you have kids, you love them with your whole heart and never let a day go by without telling them how loved they are. I pray you take them to Disney. I pray you have tea parties with your daughter and play basketball with your son. I pray you go to every choir concert, sporting event, play and recital your kids may have.

I pray that you are successful. I pray that you have the means to live how you want. I pray that you are as crazy as you always have been. I pray that you are healthy, happy, living life to the fullest and always chasing after what you want.

Much love,

Past 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.
