A Letter To My Dog

I miss you.

A Letter To My Dog
Fiona Morrison

Dear the cutest ball of fluff,

I know you're confused why I am not at home as often as I used to be. I wish I could tell you that I will be back eventually and not to get too excited that it's me every time someone opens the front door. Our long distance relationship is the hardest one I've ever done. I wish I could help you understand that I am just at school and I miss you.

I haven't forgotten you, and I promise we will be together as much as possible once I get back home. You're my favorite running, hiking and walking partner. I regret not playing with you in the backyard with your favorite toys as much as I could before I left, I never thought I would miss it as much as I do. I even miss the nights when you whimper at the door to be let out at 4am. You're the only one who can wake me up in the middle of the night without me getting livid at whatever woke me up. How could I be mad at that adorable and sympathetic face?

I miss the constant presence of you trailing behind me where ever I walk. Sometimes I find myself making sure I don't push my chair back too quickly because I'm used to you laying directly behind me. I never feel companionless when I'm with you and I wish that sometimes when I'm feeling lonely at school I could just call your name and you would come running. I also really miss not having to pick up a crumb or piece of food I drop on the floor. You're the best vacuum a lazy person could ask for.

Sometimes I wonder, who rescued who? I can be crying and at my lowest and there you are licking my face reminding me that no matter what you love me. It's so heartwarming to know that no matter how badly I mess up, you'll still love me - even though you have no idea what I did. I know you might only be a small part of my life, but I know that I'm your whole life. I hope that I'm making it an adventurous one.

Thank you for always keeping my bed warm, as well as snuggling me on those cold winter nights. You have your own special blanket on my bed so you don't get hair all over my comforter. You should know that I forgive you for shedding everywhere, I'll take a hairy bed and clothes over not having you in my life. Lastly, thank you for loving me more than you love yourself, you have no idea how important you are to me.

Sincerely,

I'll be home soon

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.
