Dear Ellie and Jared,

I don't even remember how I found your channel anymore, but I am so grateful that I did. I do remember, however, that it was this past summer that my life was forever changed by your family.

Your videos on YouTube have become a part of my everyday routine. Whenever I have a bad day, I always know that there's going to be a new Ellie and Jared video uploaded. I can safely say that although I have not been a subscriber since the beginning, that I have watched every video and have watched your family grow.

I have unlimited respect for you both. I know what you guys do isn't easy, and sharing intimate details about your family probably isn't always the most fun thing to do, but what you guys put out on the internet every single day is changing people's lives and giving them hope. I know you don't put everything online-- who would? But you guys put a lot of heart into what you do share, so thank you for being honest with your viewers.

I think a lot of people watch your videos for many different reasons, but a huge reason why I watch your videos is because I feel a sense of love and family when I watch. It warms my heart to see how much you two love one another.

You both are such amazing role models to all people. Ellie, you are so brave, you are the definition of perseverance and I admire your knowledge of life for only 26 years old! Jared, I admire your positivity to no end-- seriously, can you share some of that? Your heart is huge and your personality is so refreshing to watch!

Thank you both from the bottom of my heart for inspiring me to be better, kinder, and more adventurous. Thank you for what you do and what you share. Your family and your journey are so special and I can't wait to continue to watch your story.

-Clancy

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.
