A Letter To My Big

A Letter To My Big
Kelsey Mays

Big,

I don't thank you enough for all that you do. You welcomed me with open arms and was just the person I needed when I got you.

I will never forget the joy I felt when I turned that wooden heart over and your name was on it. It was a mixture of shock and happiness, because I didn't think you actually wanted me. I will never forget you laughing at me as I cried in your arms because I was so happy (someone has to be the emotional one between the two of us). That night we ate so much ice cream we were sick, and just laid around your apartment and laughed at the random tv show that was on.

You have taught me so much this past year and I'm so excited to have another year with you beside me. There is going to be endless wine nights filled with laughter and smiles. So get ready for another crazy year!

You have taught me that life is a crazy ride and I can't control what happens in it. Or I can't always control because I still try and control some aspects of life, I think I always will.

Thank you for always being one of my biggest support systems and not judging me for all my crazy stories. No matter the time I know you are here for me, I've texted you at 3 A.M. and somehow you always respond even at that crazy time. You also give me the best life advice, how does someone have so much knowledge? I will never know because you always know the right thing to say to me. When I need you the most you are always there for me and I can never thank you enough for that.

You are such a strong woman, I don't think you will ever realize how strong you are. You have been such a great role model, you are seriously like my mom, you remind to eat and sleep.

You have taught me to go live and be a 21-year-old because this is the only time in my life to sleep until 11 and stay up all night. You have taught me to dance the night away, and to just be comfortable in my skin. You've taught me that it's okay for me to be my weird self that people, like you, love me for who I am, with all my flaws and everything.

Thank you for letting me be apart of the Misfit Family and always showering me with love. I would never change anything for the world, our crazy misfit family is perfect and the perfect family for me.

There aren't enough words to express how much of an impact you have made on my life, you are so empathetic in all that you do. I know that you will soar in all that you do, you are constantly seeking the for the heights and chasing your dreams, no matter how hard life gets.

Always LITB,

Little Kelsey

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
