Open letter and love letter are the same, right?

An Open Letter To Chipotle

I want to start off by saying thank you to all Chipotle employees. You are constantly swamped with hungry, irritable guests and always have a line out the door, but you but never fail to make my day. Your job is probably extremely stressful and you get absolutely no credit for crafting those wonderful burritos and burrito bowls. Not to mention you probably now hate Halloween.

I know that I get extremely stressed out with each visit to Chipotle but can't help but going at least once every two weeks. While I get the same order every time, the process is still something I stress out over. While the line is long, it moves rather quickly and that is fine by me. It’s a popular place and you can only craft such a beautiful meal so quickly.

Once it's my turn to start this somewhat stressful process, I'm filled with emotion. It starts off great. I can see my wonderful little bowl begin to pile up. Then it escapes me. I get a little panicked, not being able to see my masterpiece and distinguish it from all the others. I feel miles away from the employees asking me what else I would like to top off my already overflowing burrito bowl.

Here's where I panic. Do you want me to tell you everything I want upfront? Do you want me to go item by item? When exactly does that sly little trade off happen where someone else puts on those final ingredients? Should I say them again? What to do you want from me?

Regardless of my ignorance you still are so patient, even if you do give me some weird looks. I don't blame you.

After that course of anxiety is over, another stressor comes up: paying. While yes, giving someone a debit card is not a difficult process, figuring out which is mine is slightly nerve-wracking. Nevertheless, you somehow always seem to get my order right.

Not to mention that now you have really gone above and beyond: you deliver. My question to you is, how do you do all of this so successfully? I should also thank you in advance for catering to my laziness, since I know I will be ordering delivery in the near future (considering I live across the street from you).

So Chipotle, thank you for always meeting my expectations. You never fail to disappoint and even if the line is out the door, I will wait it out for you.

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.
