An Open Letter To My Birth Dad

Let’s be real here, you are kind of a badass.

I mean how much you have done for me over the years makes me think that you’re some type of superhero that can do anything and everything. I don’t think you know honestly how much you mean to me and how much you’ve been there for me over the years. You’re the one who I know and one who I can trust with anything that I have to say. The best thing about it is, you’re still here and you’re still with me even though you’re not.

Do you realize what you have done for me?

You act like my father; you support me with everything that I do even when it’s out of your comfort zone. You’ll go into an environment full of glitter and sparkles when you’re dressed in jeans, steel toed boots and a flannel. Yet you don't even care what other people think; that's pretty awesome. It shows that you care about anything that I do no matter what environment you have to be in. You just want to see me and support me. You check in on me almost every week to make sure that I’m doing alright and you say how much you miss me. I can say how amazing it is to feel how much you love me even though when you don’t say it I can just tell.

There’s one thing that makes me super happy.

It’s when you say that you’re proud of me. The smile that comes across your face and that soft voice saying how amazed you are with me makes tears come to my eyes. The emotions start running because I feel the connection that we have even when we’re just sitting around talking about our daily lives. I see myself in you and it’s amazing to observe.

I want to thank you for being the one I open up to.

The fact that you listen to what I have to say and give me advice on what to do is amazing, whether it’s about school, a break up or just an issue in my life. You’re always there and you know what to say no matter what the situation is.

Let’s face it, you’re a pretty awesome person.

I mean you’re not afraid when you get mud on your jeans. It’s like whatever to you and I’m the same way. You’re so much like me and that’s what I love the most because you get me and you get who I am.

Thank you for being you.

Your Daughter

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.
