My Love Letter To You

Hello you,

If you are reading this letter, please know that I am talking to you. I might or might not know you, and we might never well meet, but if there is a chance we do please do not hesitate to take it. I acknowledge I might be a stranger, but that can easily be fixed. Know that I do not care about your age, your gender, your sexuality, your gender, your skin color. But know that I care about you.

I know you are in one of the toughest, unique cities in the world. I know that it is yours, and you can make it what you wish. I know you will take advantage of the never ending opportunities that will come your way. I know that you will say "yes" more often, and where that takes you to might be a strange place, but there is nothing that you cannot over come because you have made it this far.

You need to know how strong you are, because after all the shit you have been through you have not given up. You need to know that there is a place for you in this world, even if sometimes it doesn't feel like it, know that is only temporary. You need to know that there are people in your life who believe in you, even if you're convinced that no one does, know that I do.

I will admit that I do not know a lot due to my limited knowledge, but I know you are better than you think you are. I know you struggle with life in some fucked up way that I might never understand. But in that fucked up way, know you're not alone.

I am a paradox. I want to be happy, but I am complacent in my sadness. I am lazy, yet I am ambitious. I am confident, but I breathe insecurities. I crave for love, but in some weird and messed up ways I reject it every time it comes my direction. In many ways, I am a series of conflicted contradictions. And truth be told, if I cannot figure my little self out, there is no way anyone else can.

When you cannot help but believe that you're worthless and nothing, look again for the beauty I know is there. If you cannot find it, look again. Confidence is not self-satisfaction, but a progress of one finding their own light in the darkness of life.

You are more than you might ever know.

You are like an abstract painting.

beautiful,

but not in ways that everyone could understand.

If you're reading this, love yourself. And even if you don't, please know that I do.

Maybe one day we will meet, and when we do I will be there to listen to your stories. Without a doubt, I know it'll be one hell of a story because, once again, you are an abstract painting...and I am an art lover.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
