An Open Letter To My First Love

Thank you for being one of the most important chapters in my life.

An Open Letter To My First Love

Dear First Love,

There is not a day that goes by that I do not think about you or think about the times that we used to share and the memories that we made. I fell in love with not only you, but on top of that I also fell in love with the idea of us being together for the rest of our lives and the story that we could one day tell our children. The story that our children would one day tell our grandchildren and the legacy of pure true and unconditional love that we would leave behind for years to come.

We were going to be proof and inspiration that true love and happiness could still exist in the world. You know more about me than many people do; the good, the bad, and the ugly and you still managed to love me through my flaws. Throughout the twist and turns that we came across we still managed to somehow find our way back to each other.

You changed me for the better by pushing me in times when I couldn’t push myself. You changed my view of the world as well as my view of life itself. You challenged me as well as made me hate you at the same time. I worked ten times harder because you knew that I could make it. You made me laugh, you made me cry, and you sometimes made me want to leave you alone all together. You are the center of my memories because you were my first date, my first kiss, and my first life changing love.

It been a year and a half since we finally split and decided to move on but I still find myself hoping and praying that you are doing well. I pray that you accomplish every goal that you set for yourself, I pray for peace and stability in your life, and I pray that you happen to stumble upon a woman that will not only take care of you but also give you that unconditional love that you search for. That chapter in my life may have ended but the story itself will never change. No matter what you may face in life whether it is positive or negative I will always be there if you need help along the way.

I want to thank you for revealing a part of myself, for teaching me that I will be able to take the lessons that were learned from our chapter and apply them to other chapters in my life to come. Thank you for being there in times when I felt that I did not have anyone that I could lean on but you were always right there with your shoulder waiting. Thank you for instilling drive and ambition in me that I still use whenever I feel myself giving up. Overall, thank you for loving me in a time when I felt that no one else did.

Sincerely,

Your Ex-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.
