A Thank You Letter To My Dog

A man's best friend.

A Thank You Letter To My Dog
Lizzy Schumacher

M.K. Clinton once said, “The world would be a nicer place if everyone had the ability to love as unconditionally as a dog.”

So, this one goes out to all the dogs out there who teach us the important lessons in life.

To the one who is more excited to see us than anyone else every time we enter the door.

The one whose tail never stops wagging (unless they dig into the trash and get caught).

The one who never judges us for wearing the same shirt and sweatpants for three days in a row or waiting another day to shower when we both know we smell.

The one who is always smiling through the toy they drop right at our feet.

The one who is so self-less, he will follow you around the entire house just so you don't have to feel paranoid when you are home alone.

The one who is the first one to give you a kiss when you're having a rough (or ruff) day and snuggles with you at night.

The one who will go on a walk with you just so you can see that beautiful sunset you have wanted to see all day.

Yes, this one goes out to all the pups out there.

Because maybe you can't speak through words, but I believe you teach us people that actions speak way louder than words.

You teach us that it doesn't take words to show those around you that you love them.

And finally, you teach us that you don't need to expect anything in return from someone when you give them your love.

So, thank you, pup, for bringing never-ending joy and a whole lot of kisses to each life that comes into contact with. You truly are a man's best friend.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
