"It's Not You, It's Me"
Victoria Leigh Keiser

Let me begin by saying that I am not a vulnerable person, but you seem to get the best of me when it comes to my emotions. You just seem to understand what I'm feeling and have the perfect cure for when I'm blue. I know it has been awhile since we last saw each other, but I need to tell you how much I miss you.

Being so many miles away from you is tough because I long for everything about you. I miss the way you look, the way you smell. I miss how comfortable you made me feel under any circumstances. When I was surrounded by you, I felt home. You created a peace within me that I never knew was possible. Opening my eyes to so many possibilities, you gave me hope.

Your perfection was hard to say "goodbye" to. Granted we spent every day together for ten incredible months, I was bound to find one of your flaws. Even still, I never got tired of our time together. As each minute ticked by, the smile on my face grew a little wider and my heart filled with a little more love for you. I couldn't imagine my life without you.

Each day I spent dazzled by you, I learned something new. I saw that adventure was waiting for me out there in this big, beautiful world. I looked past the frontier, over the mountains, and experienced the pleasure of seeing different lives outside of my own. I danced with princesses and learned to dream with fantasy filled thoughts. I hoped for tomorrow, seeing how astonishing the future could be. But most importantly, I always had a middle ground to collect myself and analyze all the knowledge you brought to me.

With you, I was never bored, nor did I ever feel unwanted. You loved me through it all, even when I would just stand at the beginning of Main Street USA and stare at how handsome and beautiful you are. It was always hard to get alone time with you, but we managed through. While I was frantically coming to see you at 3 p.m., pushing my way through the crowd, it never bothered me at all. Why? Because I knew you were holding a special place for me. The magic you created, even with thousands upon thousands of people near you, was enough for this girl.

On my last night with you I began crying my eyes out watching 'Wishes' for the millionth time, I whispered something that I wasn't sure if you heard above the awe of the crowd. I told you that this wasn't our goodbye, but a "see you real soon." I hold that promise near to my heart because I know how much truth it holds. Leaving you was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, but I don't regret it. You will always have a special place in my heart, even when the years go by and we are not connected physically with each other.

Please don't ever lose your magic, and please don't ever forget me. I know you have had so many others before me, but our time together is a treasure I will take with me wherever I go in this life. I miss you, Magic Kingdom... And I love you.

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.
