To the most wonderful person in my life, thank you.

While yes this can be a friend or a family member, or really anyone, I give the biggest shoutout to my best friend, Matt. Here's a list of all the things I am so very thankful for.

1.  For dealing with me rambling on the phone when I decide to spill out my entire life in a phone call.

2. For being the constant reminder that I'm normal, when I truly believe there is something wrong with me. 

3. For showing me aye caramba. seriously. thank you. 

4. For enjoying scary movies as much as I do, and watching every single one possible together.

5. For dealing with my mood swings, even when I can be the biggest bitch in the entire world. So sorry for that one.

6. For making me feel alive, in a world that sometimes feels like you aren't truly living.

7. For understanding my love for 2 tea bags instead of one, and always making sure without me asking that there are 2 in my cup.

8. For the nights in, because we thoroughly enjoy being snuggled up in a blanket instead of at a party.

9. For admiring the parts of me that I don't. 

10. For always giving me the right advice. Truly the only person I 100% listen to.

11. For knowing directions because I can't even figure them out with google maps on.

12. For sharing your food with me, and your tea, and your clothes, and just about everything.

13. For knowing when I've had a little bit too much. I'll work on that one.

14. For being there when no one else is, through every breakdown, and every situation I overthink.

15. For letting me cry on you before I have to leave you, every. single. time. 

16. For making this work, honestly for imprinting in my mind that it will work.

17. For not letting my late night thoughts be trouble.

18. For reading my texts about my dreams every single morning. 

19. For showing me new music, and enjoying every song I tell you to listen to.

20. For letting me hog the blanket. 

21. For holding my hair back that one time.

22. For serving our country, and being so brave about it.

23. For every letter during boot camp that brought a smile to my face. 

24. For making me look like the good driver sometimes.

25. For letting me fit into any space possible to snuggle.

26. For making me late night grilled cheese.

27. For not being like any other guy.

28. For watching my stupid love movies with me.

29. For putting me in my place sometimes. 

30. For understanding my love for letters, and saving all the ones I have given you.

31. For making you come in an uber with me at 3 am from your house to my house because I was too scared to go alone. 

32. For genuinely being my best friend, the weirdest person I can be, the most honest and raw version of myself. 

33. For making life never seem too serious. 

Thank you for understanding myself when I don't. Thank you for figuring out the things in my head, and making decisions for me before I can even come up with a plan A or B.

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.
