How You Know You Found The One

Finding the "one" has always been the big question on everyone's mind.

How You Know You Found The One
Zoe Neilson

"I feel like everything in my life has led me to you. My choices, my heartbreaks, my regrets. Everything. And when we're together, my past seems worth it. Because if I had done one thing differently, I might have never met you."

When you look back on your past, many see heartbreak, some see regrets, but I see both. The person I used to be wasn't who I really wanted to be. The person I know I'm supposed to be is the person I am when I'm with you. You make me a better person, you have shaped me into who I'm meant to be. I could never thank you enough for being my one and only.

I know I've found the one because I still get butterflies whenever you're around. Still, after seven months, you make them flutter in my stomach. My smiles are brighter and my laughs are stronger. The memories I've made with you are more than I've made in a lifetime. You're my other half, the peanut butter to my jelly, my missing puzzle piece.

I know you're my one and only because as broken as I am, you still see me with such light. You still see the best in me, when all I've shown is my worst. You are my light at the end of a very long and dark tunnel. Even though my past has had nothing but darkness, you always find the shimmering light within it. You are the light to my dark, my white to my black, and the ying to my yang.

I know I'll marry you one day because my future has never seemed brighter. You have given me hope on days I feared there was none. Given me strength and courage to keep going, when all I wanted to do was give up. Lifted me up and showed me that I do have a purpose. You are my rock, my Jiminy cricket, and my soul confidant.

I know you're him because my family adores you, and you in turn love them. As crazy as they are, you still lovingly accept every quirky thing about them. The heart you have is golden, and the love you give is everlasting. Thank you, for finding me and being my one.

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.
