An Open Letter To Coffee

You were my first love and taught me what love was.

An Open Letter To Coffee

From that first sip in the morning to that very last drop in my glass. I don't know what I would ever do without you. You make me happy as I can feel the coldness of each sip run down my throat and into my stomach. Ever since I can remember, I have always been fond of you. From stealing sips of my mom's coffee to eventually convincing her to let me have my own, I couldn't think of any other love that is greater than the love I have for you.

I'll admit, at first I didn't know what I was doing. I drowned you with flavored coffee creamer and loaded you with tons of sugar. I was toxic to you and tried to change you so you would be what I wanted you to be. But as I got older and grew wiser, I realized that you taste better when you come as you are, in your natural form. Although sometimes you're taste can still be a little to strong for me, I couldn't even begin to imagine trying to change you like I did in the past.

Whenever I'm having a bad day the first thing I can think of that will cheer me up is stopping somewhere and getting a fresh cup of coffee. It's like an instant rush of happiness as soon as I indulge in that first sip. Just you and I, in the car, windows down and the music up, only you can make my day do a complete 180 and put me into a state of bliss.

And there's no better co-pilot than you. You go so well with all the music I like to listen to and you don't even though a fuss when I have the same song on repeat for 30 minutes. I feel like I'm on top of the world when I'm driving around with you next to me in my cup holder.

I don't know what I would ever do without you in my life. You're like the sun to my shine, the peanut butter to my jelly, and of course the coffee to jumpstart my morning. Without you my life would be incomplete and insignificant. I will love you to the end.

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.
