It's about time.

An Open Letter To My First Boyfriend

Well, it's about time.

Just kidding. Good things take time.

Thank you for coming into my life and making me feel wanted. It means a lot. I want to let you know a few things so you know what you're in for. I don't want to scare you away so please stop reading this right now if you're starting to regret your decisions. I'm awesome, I promise.

I am fluent in sarcasm and don't know when to stop. I insult you because I love you and I think I'm funny, not because you're bothering me. But, I will be completely honest if you do bother me, just be prepared.

I like my alone time but that doesn't mean I don't want to be alone with you. I am perfectly content with us reading books on separate sides of the room. Or even going to the mall together but splitting up as soon as we get there to go to our respective favorite places. I like to be alone, but good company isn't something I'll pass up.

Another thing is my fascination with being outside. There is nothing I love more than life than flowers and stars. Nothing. If I'm ever mad, those two things are the way to my heart. It's almost an instant fix.

I have an obsession with rom-coms. I've had the idea of what a perfect relationship looks like in my head for as long as I can remember. But, the image has been constructed by movies. I recognize that life isn't a fairytale and not everything works out the way I want it, but sometimes I might need a friendly reminder.

This is common among women but, I'm always right. I have a hard time admitting when I'm wrong, and I will go to lengths to prove when you are. Let me down gently. I'm a little stubborn.

The thing about me is that when I get invested in something, I'm all in. I don't half-ass anything and I don't pretend. I hope it's the same for you. I don't like being lied to or used. I have a tough time getting over things, especially when they break my heart.

All in all, I know you'll be a good boyfriend because I wouldn't like you if you were an asshole. Just saying. Good luck with me. I think I'm pretty fun to hang out with. Also, yes we might take some of those cute couple pictures just to prove to my friends that boys do like me. And yes, I can have a boyfriend.

I promise to be a good girlfriend. I know you'll be worth the wait. ;)

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.
