A Letter to My World

Thank you for changing my life.

A Letter to My World
Casey Tegenkamp

To my world,

First of all, I will tell you that when I met you over four years ago, I never thought that we would be where we are today. We were little high school freshman, who didn't know much about the world. Now, we're sophomore's in college and I still don't know much about the world. There is one thing in this world that I do know, I couldn't do this without you.

You are the first thing I think of when I wake up in the morning and when I go to bed, I think about you again. You are constantly running through my mind and whenever I'm down, I can hear you cheering me on. You are always there to push me to do my best and celebrate my success. You are the first person I want to call when something amazing happens to me because I know you will be so excited for me.

You have helped me through so many rough stages in my life. You were there when two of my friends passed away and I could never thank you enough for that. You let me cry for hours on end and just hugged me until I felt better. You always let me call you when I have a mental breakdown, give me the best advice and remind me to breathe. You let me rant to you about everything under the sun, even when you don't understand what I'm talking about. I could never thank you enough for being there for me when I needed someone.

I know I'm not perfect. I know that whenever we have an argument, it's probably my fault. Sometimes my sassiness goes to far and I end up hurting you. It's the worst feeling in the world for me to know that I hurt you. I never want to be the reason why you are sad or angry. I just want what's best for you and to never see you cry.

It all comes back to one thing; I love you. You have made my life so much better and easier. You always know how to make me smile and remind me how much I am loved. Thanks to you, I will never question if someone will always be there for me because I know you already are. Thank you for being you.

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.
