An Open Letter To The One Who Loves Me

An Open Letter To The One Who Loves Me
Cecilia Schiavo

To My Love,

With so much going on in my life at one time, it might seem as though I’ve forgotten to show you how much I appreciate all that you do for me. But please believe me when I say that your help, comfort and guidance never go unseen. When I feel alone at night, you are the one who I talk to until I feel safe and the one who reminds me that everything will be okay in the end. I’m eternally grateful for the endless nights when it seemed like you’ve been the only one there for me.

Thank you for being my biggest fan and for showing me what unconditional love is. It’s an indescribable feeling to know that no matter what I do, I have somebody waving a flag for me, cheering me on. With that sensation I know that I can truly take the world by storm and that I have a permanent safety net underneath me should I fall. I just hope to make you proud and to keep a smile on your face like you do for me every single day.

I would also like to thank you for taking the problems that I have in my own life and bearing them with me, and sometimes for me. To feel like somebody actually cares about me is something that I have never truly found from anybody else, and it’s still something with which I struggle. I know that giving up control in my life is a huge problem that I have because I need to know everything that is happening at all times. However, I thank you for your patience and support as I go through my own journey learning how to trust. That was never how I operated; I always shut down and said that I could figure everything out inside of my own head. It’s the extreme introvert in me. Thanks for shaking your head at me with a smile as you waited for me at the end of the road, ready to give support and love when I was ready to receive it.

On top of receiving so much love from you, I want you to know how much I treasure our friendship and your love. Friendship, or any type of relationship, is a two-way street and I apologize for any time that I didn’t do my part. If I ever acted like a totally selfish brat, then I’m sorry. I’m completely aware that the “if” is truthfully a “when.” Sometimes my vision gets so tunneled and one-tracked that I don’t think about the ones around me. If I went for extended periods of time without speaking to you or confiding in you, then it wasn’t anything personal and it definitely was not intentional. Talking to you always gives me a sense of peace and comfort and I know that no matter what, you’ll be there, waiting for me to return to you.

Thank you for your love. Thank you for your unending support. Thank you for loving me for me. And, most importantly, thank you for being you.

Sincerely,

Me

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.
