An Open Letter To My Bed

Oh, how I love you so.

An Open Letter To My Bed
Big Appled

Dear Bed,

Let me just start out by saying I love you more than anything.


You are there for me whenever I need you and I could never thank you enough for always staying right where I need you. Granted, you do not have legs to walk away from me with, but the thought is still there. You love me the way I love you, we keep each other company on those lonely nights and cuddle for as long as possible before having to leave each other.

You always know how to make me feel better when I need a hug, you are there for me. You wrap your blanket arms around me to comfort me into a heavy and wonderful nightly snooze. You are able to not hold on to me too tightly when I am taking a quick cat nap, though. You know how I need you, when I need you.

After a long, hard day you pull me in and warm me to a wonderful mood. Coming home to you is the best part of the day and knowing that you feel the same is heartwarming to me. Your whole purpose in life is to make me happy, and let me just tell you, you succeed.

Sometimes I just want to hangout with you and maybe watch some Food Network and you're always really cool about hanging out with me all night. You never complain when I bounce too hard on to you, or when I might not smell the best (we know this happens often). Always you welcome me to your warm embrace no matter what, because I think you like that I keep you warm too.

There are very few things that I love as much as sleep, and you come with this. Everyone knows how much I love sleeping, it is one of the things I am the best at and I love being able to sleep with you whenever I want, while you always make it easy for me to drift off into that deep sleep that I love. Your pillows and blankets stay in the perfect position for my head and to caress my body so sweetly that not sleeping with you feels so wrong.

When I am not with you, nothing is the same. You know what I need and no other bed can do that for me. You are my number one and nothing will ever be able to replace you. I would be completely lost without your open arms. Everything with you is so simple, and I love it. You make it very easy to love you and I know you will never be able to leave me, which makes me love you even more (I'm not crazy I promise).

However, I must apologize for all the times that I have mistreated you. I know it must not be the most pleasant feeling when I have friends over and let them all sit on you and squish you. I also must apologize for all the times I have snacked while laying on top of you. I know you don't like when I get crumbs on you and you sometimes hold on to them to make me very uncomfortable as pay back. I am sorry for these things and I still love you even though I may not show it in the best ways sometimes.

Through all the ups and downs of our relationship I know that you will always be there for me no matter what. I love you more than you will ever know, or be able to comprehend (maybe because you are a bed). Thank you for all that you do for me, it doesn't go unnoticed. I love you.

Sincerely,

Your sleepy and not so secret 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.

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.
