I love you so much.

Thank you.

I have been broken, by so many. My trust in men is so low. My father hurt me, my friends and ex boyfriends have pained me. Yet you saw something beautiful in the destruction, and for that I could never be more grateful.

You are the kindest, most warm hearted, loving, patient person I have ever met. It seems to be so unreal at times that someone like you could actually exist. You have somehow found a way to make something beautiful out of nothing. My heart has been shattered, denied, lied too, and hurt to the point of almost no return. You have made the decision to ignore all of that and teach me what it means to be loved and how to love. You don't get upset when I'm hesitant, you don't threaten to leave when I'm struggling, you continue to be patient with me and grow with me to continue to make things better for us as individuals and us as a couple.

Every day I watch as you pick up the pieces to my heart, dust them off one by one and piece them back together with love, compassion and understanding. I look into your eyes and I feel like I'm at home, no matter where my physical location may be. Hearing your voice calms me, and relaxes the dark places inside of me. Your arms are like a protection barrier to the evil around us, and your smile is a loving reminder of how confident you are in our relationship. When i look at you, my soul points at you and whispers to my heart, "Him," and that's how I know, I'm making the right decision. In just this short amount of time you have shown me so much. Thank you for reminding me what butterflies feel like. Thank you for constantly fighting for me. Thank you for coming back into my life, they say that if something finds it's way back into your life, it is your forever.

"Let your love be stronger than your hate or anger. Let the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend a little than to break. Believe the best rather than the worst, People have a way of living up or down to your opinion of them. Remember that true friendship is the basis for any lasting relationship... The more things change, the more they stay the same" -Jane Wells (1886).

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.
