To My Better Half

You don't understand how special you are.

To My Better Half
Britney Grdjan

It seems like just yesterday that we started talking. From the time we woke up until I fell asleep, texts were constantly sent back and forth. I wanted to learn everything about you. I learned that your favorite color is green, your favorite food is homemade chicken soup, your favorite movie is Animal House and so much more. I wanted to know the big stuff like how you broke your hand when you were seventeen and the mundane stuff like what your favorite Old Spice scent is. I learned the small stuff about you and some big stuff. Even after all this time, I am still discovering new and fascinating things about you.

It's different, being with someone like you. I never thought, in a million years, that I'd be with someone who supported me, pushed me, and loved me like you do. I always thought that I'd end up with the jerks, the ones who used a girl to get what they wanted or used her until someone better came along. You've been proof that not all guys are the same. Four years ago I wouldn't have believed that, four years ago I was sure that the "good guys" didn't exist. Then you came along and changed my world for the better.

In you, I have found an amazing boyfriend and my absolute best friend. We've gone on so many adventures and have shared a crazy amount of laughs. You have watched me geek out over turtles at the aquarium and I've watched you geek out over video games at PAX East. You are always so willing to do whatever I like doing just to make me happy. No matter where we are or what we are doing, I don't care as long as I have you by my side.

When I started dating you, I didn't know that I'd find someone that'd be open to watching Grey's Anatomy with me on Hulu or someone that would somehow get me into Pokémon. We've invested way too many hours into Pokemon Go but I've loved every minute of it. I've enjoyed the countless arguments we've had over which Pokémon is better (Squirtle, for the win). My favorite days are the ones that consist of lying in bed playing video games, watching Dexter, and eating pizza for dinner. I feel most comfortable with you and I am so thankful that I have someone that makes me feel that way.

Without you, I don't know where I'd be. You have brought so much light into the darkest parts of my life. I am looking forward to what the future has in store for us. You know me better than anyone else does and continuously keep me on my toes. You are just as goofy as I am and a majority of our time is spent laughing at the dumbest things. You honestly don't know how much of an impact you've made in my life not only as my best friend, but as my better half.

Love,

Your Wonderful Girlfriend

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.
