I Love You, You Should Know That

"Fathom your soul to speak more beautiful words." - Audrey Silver


As a writer, I am both equally in love and afraid of words. Words are funny things. The wrong ones can destroy everything. The right ones can heal the most broken hearts. The thing about words though... Is sometimes the right words to say, hide away where your feelings stay, and it's scary to go that deep.

As a writer, I feel that words will be the most important thing that I will leave behind. When you love someone, you should tell them. When you miss someone, you should tell them. We are all just trying to get through life, to find success and happiness. Holding your tongue is not going to help anyone.

I've always been somewhat of an introvert and making friends wasn't always easy for me. My best friend was my grandmother who read novels and wrote poetry no matter how much pain she was in. Before and after she passed away, writing and words meant more to me than ever before. When you know someone is dying, you choose your words a little more wisely. I guess what I'm saying is, you never know when someone will no longer be in your world, and shouldn't the last words you say to someone be as beautiful as you are?

The feelings we feel are never out of place. I know you're scared to send that one text message, make that one phone call, tell that one person you love them... This is your sign to do so. Life is too short. We pick our words before they come out of our mouth, choose them wisely.

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.
