True Love Does Exist And I Know This Thanks To My Grandparents

“How do you spell love?” – Piglet

“You don’t spell it. You feel it.” –Pooh

Love is a one of a kind thing. Not everyone in his or her lives feels it, or get to experience it. But when you do, it’s like nothing you’ve ever imagined. No ones love is like another, it is unique and special in its own way. It tells a story about ourselves in ways we never knew. Its like magic, it makes you feel alive in many ways.

Like My beautiful grandparents, there love is like no other.

My grandparents will be married for 50 years this coming June, but have been together over 63 if counting their dating years. They were high school sweethearts. They started dating their 7th-grade year of middle school and have been in love ever since. They even went to separate colleges and made it through it.

Now that’s what you call true love. Everyone dreams to have what they share together. I mean, I have always dreamed to find something like their love. They have always told me “It’s not easy, but it’s worth it”. The love they have for one another is just like the type you see in movies, the kind everyone wishes to attain one day.

They are the reason I understand what love is and they taught me all the wonderful things love has to offer as well. They have impacted my life in many ways, but this one is an important lesson they have taught me that sticks with me and will stick with me forever. No matter what life throws at you, love will conquer all.

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.
