A Letter To Those That Have Stood By My Side
Lindsey R. Bischoff

Dear Those Of Which This Letter Is Intended For,

The amount of words that it would take to ever fully express my gratitude to you is innumerable. There's been no shortage of changes, mistakes, major ups and downs, etc... in the many years or months (that you easily make feel like years) that you've stuck with me. In each and every event that has transpired, you've been there to help me through it. Whether through encouraging words or gestures, your continuous enthusiastic support has brightened my outlook of the world and lessened my occasional impulsivity when it comes to decision making.

With each new problem that arose, you were there to help process the situation with me. Whether the situation at hand was test results, school drama, character deaths, puberty, or close familial loss - you always helped me keep my head on straight; challenging me to look at everything in as much detail as possible. Sometimes, while you may not have been the one to have instigated the choices to act, see, or do things differently, your general aptitude for helpfulness lent many an inspiration to do better, do more - my way.

So thank you. Thank you for being you. For helping me along so many journeys. For continuously restoring my faith in humanity. I can only hope that my attempt to do the same for you can level up to the amount of appreciation I hold.

As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them. - John F. Kennedy

Sincerely,

A humbled human

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.
