To A Loved One In Heaven

We do miss you...

To A Loved One In Heaven
Nicole Dzwonkowski

To My Person,

It's quite easy for people to say they miss you, but not everyone knows all the memories that were made through the years of living with you.

Since I was a little girl, you've always impacted my life, it's hard to believe that it's almost been five years since we last spoke. Crazy to think about how many things have been celebrated without you here. From birthdays to graduations, holidays, first day of college, and so much more. Although you aren't physically here, you're still here, with us every day. You're guiding us to be a better person, through little acts.

Every day, I wish you were still here. So I could call you about how my day went, or call you in between classes to let you know how things were going so far. It's tough that I can't just walk down the hallway to talk to you anymore. I miss the encouragement that you gave all the time. I wish I got the chance to spend more time with you and appreciate everything you did a lot more once you were here.

It's all the little things that I miss the most about you being here. The hugs, the laughs, the time we spent baking together and even the little fights. I would give anything to have that back, even the fights because they were never really fights. The conversation we would have, after school. Listening to your, what I thought back then, awful taste in music which now I enjoy listening too.

Now as your birthday approaches soon, it's even harder that I can't wake up and see you and say "happy birthday, love you." Although, I'm sure you'll be having a birthday blast up there with all of our other family members who have joined you. Even though I can't say happy birthday physically either, I can still say it to you and I know you hear it. Your birthday will always be an extremely special day to all of us—you were an extremely special person to us.

Thank you, for being my inspiration to be a better person in life and to never take anything for granted, because you never know what you have until it's gone. You always knew how to put a smile on the faces of others, even when you were going through the toughest battles. You've touched my life and the lives of many others and everyone you've ever met is forever grateful to have you have in their life. I know that one day we all can't wait to see you again, but I know for a fact that will be one of the best days ever, being reunited with my best friend, since I was a little girl.

You've always been my person, even when you're not here, you're still my person and I can count of you to be there, whenever I need you to be. You put the sunshine in the cloudiest days.

Until we meet again,

I love you always.

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.
