An Open Letter To My People

Life would be boring without you.

An Open Letter To My People

Throughout the course of your life it has become very hard to find someone that understands you. Everyone has someone; nobody is alone. Your person is someone who understands you when you don’t make any sense, someone who helps you stand on your own two feet when you cannot. Luckily aside from my best friends growing up I have found three amazing people that have become, my people.

Dear People,

First and foremost, I know you have been waiting for this letter for quiet some time now but I wanted it to be perfect. I hope it was worth the wait. I really don’t take the time to thank you all enough for all that you do, so here goes nothing.

Thank you for being there when I need you.

Whether it’s to discuss that latest gossip or because I’m having a bad day none of you are ever failing on me.

Thanks for telling me how it is when I need you to.

Everyone is mistaken from time to time. You always know how to clear my vision and shoot my in the right direction when I can’t see vividly for myself.

Thanks for always being hungry.

If there’s one thing I love in this world, it’s food. We all share that characteristic. Thanks for eating unreasonable amounts of food with me without judgment.

Thank you for NEVER judging me.

We all have different minds and points of view; we wouldn’t be human if we didn’t. Thank you for never judging the decisions I make when you would have done differently.

Thank you for the laughter.

Individually we all have our humor but together is what makes me laugh most. Between Chloe’s “dancing,” Emily’s contagious laugh, and Alyssa’s slightly corny but funny joke I don’t know how I haven’t peed my pants of laughter yet.

Thanks for never being distant.

Regardless of how often we see each other because of our conflicting schedules thanks for never forgetting about me, for always reaching out.

Again, Thank you for always being here for me.

I really can’t thank you all enough. You have been here through the darkest times to the brightest times. Thanks for making sure I eat when I’m upset or stressed and for reminding me who I am when I don’t have the strength to recognize it myself.

I don’t know what I would do without out you all. Thanks for making life a little less boring and a lot more fun.

Love always,

Your Person

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.
