This is for a loved stranger.

WIKI

Dear Stranger,

We haven't always been strangers, I knew you once upon a time. You were someone who I thought I knew so much about, but clearly, I was wrong. We drifted apart and I am deeply saddened by that. I fear that I may never talk to you again, and not having you in my life completely, scares me more than life itself. I've lost two, I don't want to lose another. You may feel as if I did this to hurt you, but I promise you, I didn't. I had to focus on me and better myself before I let anyone back into my life. I wish that in the future that we can be acquaintances once more, and be close just like before. I miss the person that I thought I knew, I miss the once upon a time. Maybe one day, once upon a time will reappear but for now, reality will take its toll. While you are not a real stranger, we've grown so far apart that it feels like I have no idea who you are. It sucks, it really does but this is how life works. Things happen and we just have to accept that, no matter how much you want that "once upon a time"... maybe I'll see you around though, stranger.


Sincerely,

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.
