"Hi. I'm not even sure if you'll get this but hey-I figured that I'd give it a try. I don't wanna say that I think I'm actually calling you, I realize you're gone and you can't pick up the phone. I'm not even sure where I'm calling, if there is heaven or if you're just part of the sky. I'd like to believe that heaven is real, that someday I'll see you there again. I'd give anything to have that peace of mind, but for now I'll just hold out hope. Anyways if heaven is a place where you are, maybe somehow you'll hear this.

I miss you. It's weird that you aren't here anymore. You've missed so much, so many happy things and sad things; a lot of in between things too. There's so many things you're going to miss too, my college graduation and my wedding day.

I find myself being happy even though you're gone, and sometimes I feel a little guilty for it. Guilty because you didn't get to see this day. I wonder what you'd do with this day if you had been here for it. I'd like to think I'm living life for you, in a way that would make you proud of me. Maybe I am and maybe I'm not, but either way I'm trying. I' think you're proud of me just for that. I know I'm proud of you, how valiantly you lived, and the effect you had on all those around you. We all miss you. The world misses you and although the days are bit more gray without you I know when the sun shines you're behind it. I feel your presence in the smallest things everyday. I guess I just wanted to tell you that I miss you, and I know that somehow you're watching over me. So maybe I'll see you someday, if not I love you. I miss you. Bye"

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.
