An Open Letter To The Man Who Showed Me What True Love Is
romantic and cute love

I used to think that no one could ever love me as much as I loved them, that is of course until I met you.I was so nervous about meeting you and the whole ride over I had butterflies in my stomach when we introduced ourselves I couldn't stop smiling. You were more handsome than the pictures that I saw of you which made me even more nervous. We walked on a trail with a couple of our friends who did most of the talking because I was far too shy. By the time I left the trail I was full of excitement the whole ride home I told my roommate how happy I was that I met you, and I could not get the smile off of my face. I wanted to text you once I left but I followed the dumb rule of waiting for you to text me first. I waited for what felt like forever, but in reality, it was only three hours and then I finally got a text from you. I played it cool but I was overjoyed and filled with excitement, we talked about how we both had a really good time and how we should hang out again. We made plans to go to the movies the day before my birthday.

The night of the movies we brought our friends again, even though it was our first real date I was still too nervous and shy to go alone. We saw a horror movie and I waited for you to make a move, which wasn't until almost halfway through the movie. You started to hold my hand and the butterflies in my stomach grew stronger, it was a good thing the movie theater was dark because you would have seen me blushing if we were in the light. I was hoping you would kiss me right then in there but you didn't we watched the movie and when it was over we all got up and went outside. When we got out there you asked me to walk to your car with you because you got me something, the whole walk over to your car the smile on my face and the butterflies in my stomach got bigger and stronger. You opened your back door and gave me flowers and said it was because you knew my birthday was the next day. I was so happy, I kept looking at you smiling hoping that you would kiss me and then you did. And my god was that the best first kiss of my life.

Little did I know that that would not be the first time you would surprise me, every time I got into your car you would open the door for me. I don't think you know how much that meant to me, no one had ever done that before and it made me feel special. For our one month, you got me flowers and a card and took me on another date. That was also something I was not used to. When I didn't feel good you would bring me medicine, and when I was stressed you would come over and tell me that everything was going to be okay. You would watch me at my worst and still tell me that I was the best, and every time I cried you would hold me and make sure that I was going to be alright.

I knew I loved you before I even said it, to be honest, I was scared it had only been a month and my feelings for you were stronger than any other I had felt. When we first said it to each other I couldn't have felt more complete, that was when I knew you were my true love. You would bring me chocolate when I had cramps or just to get me something, we went on dates often and you made me feel like the only girl in the world. When you held me I never wanted you to stop, I felt safe, loved, and whole.

Now its six months later and we are about to move in with each other, you still open the car door for me, get me sweets, tell me you love me every day, and hold me when I cry. I still feel the butterflies that I felt that very first day and every time the words I love you come out of my mouth I mean them even more. You show me every day that it's okay to have fallen in love and that you are not going to hurt me or betray me. You have shown me that not all guys are the same and that your love is pure and true. I know that we are meant for each other and that we will get over every obstacle that comes our way because we are not like any other couple we are soul mates. What we have is true love, and I wouldn't trade it or the time we have spent together for anything in the world.

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.
