A Letter to the People in my Life

No matter how close we are, you just need to know a few things.

A Letter to the People in my Life
Cassidy Downs

Hey you! I know, I may have known you for most of my life or maybe just recently we've become friends but there's some things I would like to tell you. I'll try my best to not make this sappy because as you may know, I don't like showing emotion too much. It's gross. I don't mind when you show me how you feel because I love you but, I don't like showing my emotions to you because, well, I don't know why.

Anyway, whether you've known me long or not, you've probably noticed I have a very dark sense of humor and you know I don't actually mean it 90% of the time. You also probably have noticed I'm pretty sassy. I'm sassy because I'm letting you know if you hurt me, I'll break you. I also love being dominate. Don't mess with me. With all silliness aside, I just really have to tell you a few things.

First of all, I really do cherish you. I really do enjoy our time spent together. I know you may think you know me but, depending how close you are to me and how comfortable I feel around you, I probably haven't told you everything or you haven't seen all my flaws. That's okay though, I'm sure I haven't seen all your flaws or you haven't told me everything. I'm sure we both have been through a rough time and sometimes not talking about it is the best for us both. Trust is one of those tricky things to figure out. But, if you need someone to talk to, I'm always here.

I respect you. I respect who you are, who your other friends are, your political and religious beliefs, and I respect your space. I try my hardest to not make you mad even if we disagree. If you don't like something I've said or done, let me know. I'd rather talk about it like a mature person rather than have you hating me or holding a grudge.

Also, I've always wondered what do I look like to you. Not physically but, do you look up to me in some way or the way I look up to you? What do you think of me? What do you tell others about me? I don't know, I've always wondered that because your perspective of me is different than mine. I mean, I don't see flaws in you at all or maybe I just don't notice them.

Finally, No matter how long we've known each other, you're important to me and play a key role in my life. I can't thank you enough for who you are and everything you've done for me. Even if it was something small, I just want to thank you for it. I hope this has given you some sort of idea of who you are to me or how I feel about you. I don't know if I can say this enough but, thank you.

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.
