A Letter Of Gratitude To The Good Men In My Life

Dear Good Men,

I know you are rare and precious, so I appreciate you more than words can say. You are truly the definition of what a man should be. You are strong, courageous, kind-hearted, humble and compassionate. Having you in my life has changed me for the better. You have taught me so much about myself and have shown me what true friendship is. So, although a letter or an article or a novel can never be enough, I want to take the time to thank you for some of the things you do for me.

Thank you for holding my hand so I won't fall and for picking me up when I do. Because let's face it ... it happens ... a lot. Thank you for wiping away my tears and reminding me how important I am. Your embraces, love, and kindness always come at the most convenient times. Thank you for making me laugh. Of course, it's not difficult to do, but your effort means the world to me. Thank you for attempting to teach me things about cars and an even bigger thank you for actually fixing my car problems when I can't do it myself. Thank you for watching football with me. It's always more entertaining with you because you are almost as enthusiastic as I am. Whether I need advice on guys, my car or school, thank you for being there for me at all hours of the day. Thank you for praying for me and with me. Thank you for inspiring me every day. Thank you for bringing me closer to Christ in more ways than one. Thank you for coming into my life and for always sticking around. For those of you who have girlfriends or wives, thank you for treating them right and making sure that men treat me right. Most importantly, thank you for loving me even on my worst days.

Although we may not spend a lot of time together, we are studying at different schools or our schedules simply don't match up, I know that I can count on you for anything. The way you treat me gives me hope for humanity as a whole. I pray that every girl has someone like you, because although I'm not your only female friend, you make me feel like the most important and loved girl in the world. Thank you for reminding me of my worth and beauty on days when I forget what it is to be a daughter of Christ. I love and appreciate you more than you'll ever know.

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.
