Dear Future Me,

I hope you’re happy, and I mean genuinely happier than I am. I hope that you get everything that you’re working hard for. I hope you still have the same amazing support system you have now. I hope you get the book published. I hope you finish that play and I hope you reach all your goals.

I hope that you inspire someone like your favorite Authors inspired you. I hope your insecurities are gone, I hope that you’ve learned to move on. I hope that your hunger for more never fades. I hope the love you have for seeing the good in others never dies.

I hope that you’re living the life that makes you the most comfortable. And I know there are certain things that you wish for that you won’t say out loud. But I hope you get those too.

I hope you still know that God does everything with a purpose and on HIS time and not yours. I hope that you still continue to accept the things you cannot control. I hope the tears stop falling. And I hope you finally love all your flaws.

But most important of all...

I hope you’ve learned that it really does get better. And I hope you look back on this unexpected letter, with a smile on your face and joy in your heart.

I hope that you can read this and tell your past self that we did it. We really did it.

Love,

Yourself

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.
