A Letter To My Future Self: The Sky Is High, And Your Potential Is Limitless

A Letter To My Future Self: The Sky Is High, And Your Potential Is Limitless

I can only hope you've made it as far as I dreamed. What's it like in the great, big world? Are you still finding everything it is you're looking for? Or perhaps, have you achieved it all, and then some?

My doubts never go away, but neither does my faith. The two clash tremendously at the worst of times, but it seems my trust overrides after all. My biggest gamble in life is on you, but I've never felt more confident.

I wish you could tell me whether or not I'm still moving in the right direction. Give me a sign or two, maybe; am I truly on the road to success?

I wonder how different things are for you. Perhaps you're on a course completely opposite from mine. I'd be lying if I said the thought of that didn't freak me out a bit, but maybe you're doing the right thing. You must be doing the right thing.

Sometimes I worry; I worry that I'll lose the way to you. But deep, deep down, I know I must trust the process and let it guide me to you. The harder I force it, the more lost I think I'll become.

Do you have a family yet? Do you plan on having a family at all? Realistically, it's you vs. world but, it would be nice to settle down with a partner in crime. I hope he's everything you're looking for in a hubby.

I hope you've moved to bigger and better places. Or at least, out of New England. Do you still hate the cold as much as I do? I hope you're somewhere warmer; you always seemed happier in the sunshine.

Please tell me you haven't forgotten about me just yet! Words can't describe how excited I am to finally meet you. I have so many assumptions about you, but

I hope you're doing everything and anything it is you said you'll do. Mom and Dad must be so proud of where you've come. Just know I'm equally as proud too.

Regardless of what it is you are doing, and where it is you are heading, I hope that you are happy. Remember that you are doing this for you, for us, and nobody else.

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.
