An Open Letter To My Aunt, Who Was Gone Too Soon
Sophia Mayfield

To my aunt who left this world too soon,

I miss you so much. It feels like it's been a lifetime since I've gotten to hear your laugh. I remember how contagious it was and how it could light up any room. I miss hearing all of your crazy and unbelievable stories. You, hands down, were the greatest story teller I've ever known. You gave my sisters and I the greatest birthday parties ever. From your crazy glasses you brought for us to the way you could do such amazing things with a computer, you always made me smile. You always knew the latest celeb gossip and most of the time you knew who was going to win the Bachelor / Bachelorette months before it actually came out. Let's not forget the Christmases at grandma's, when you made all of the kids laugh by saying the juice box phrase. Only we would know what that means.You always knew how to make a fun time for us kids. Not to mention you set up my first e-mail for me. Anytime I see something pink, sparkly and bedazzled I think of you because that was what you lived for. You never failed to amuse me and I always looked forward to getting to see you.

I remember when I heard the news about you passing. I could not believe it. There was no way. It was one of the worst days of my life. I just kept thinking that life isn't going to be the same with out you. Family parties would never be the same, not hearing your laugh.

I think about you everyday. I get sad because I just wish I had you now to talk about so many things, since I'm a teenager now. I have so many things I want to talk to you about. I want you to see my Poms performances and I want to talk about all the crazy things that we used to talk about. Trust me, I know you're there watching out for me. That has definitely helped me through all of this. I know that wherever you go after death, whether it's Heaven or somewhere else, you are more than happy and making people laugh.

You taught me how to be myself always and to not care what others think. You taught me how to have fun with life and push through the hard times.

I will never forget you. I love and miss you so much.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
