An Open Letter To My High School Boyfriend

Thanks for being everything I needed during the hardest time of my life.

An Open Letter To My High School Boyfriend
Taylor Nelson

It's hard to believe that we talked and spent almost every day with each other for over two years and now we don't even say two words to one another. It's crazy to believe that I was in love with you at one point and that I would do anything for you and I know you would have done the same but somehow that flame had just blown out.

I just wanted to say thank you. Although at the time we both thought that we would eventually spend the rest of our lives together and be able to get over any obstacle, we couldn't. You showed me that not all relationships last and that it may be for the better that they don't. You also showed me that it's easier to start a relationship with someone that is your best friend, since you already know everything about each other and you already love them even with their imperfections. Dating your best friend does have it's downfall because, if it doesn't work out, you will eventually lose them forever...which I did.

You were my rock to lean on when I needed someone there when all hell was breaking loose in my life and I couldn't thank you more for that. You were always there for my ups and downs and even though I seemed like a crazy girlfriend at times you knew it was only out of love...well, I hope that you did. I was so incredibly lucky to have someone like you by my side during high school because you always made sure I was OK and never let me go to bed upset with whatever was happening that day.

I know that most girls say that their high school boyfriend was a piece of crap, but I think that you opened my eyes to how a guy should/shouldn't treat me and what someone would do if they really loved me. Although it didn't work out between you and I, I do wish the best for you and your family. (whom I miss terribly because they all rock) I know you'll do great things and I can't wait to see where you go. Any girl is lucky to have you.

Sincerely,
Your High School Girlfriend

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.
