Open Letter To My Mother In Heaven

One day those pearly white gates will open and I will see that pretty smile yours. One day everything will be okay.

Open Letter To My Mother In Heaven

3 years, 6 months, and 19 days.

185 weeks and 3 days.

1298 days.

31,152 hours.

1,869,120 minutes.

112,147,200 seconds.

That is how long the world has continued to turn since your soul, your beautiful soul left this earth. That is 1,298 sunrises that your eyes have yet to see. Your ears have become deaf of the sounds of our laughter. Your arms have been deprived of the warmth of our touch. Your heart perfect from the lack of ability to handle our pain.

I miss you.

I thought it would slowly become easier but some days the world flashes back into the moment you were taken away. I don’t see that going away for quite a while.

Our memories slowly becoming more difficult for my imagination to bring to real life. Slowly become just thoughts that pass through my mind occasionally. Your voice, a sound I thought I could never fathom to not hear a day in my life, wandering away as each day the world turns.

Sometimes I feel like I am the only one who remembers you, at times you come off as a figment of my imagination. What we had, the connection it feels so unreal now.

These feelings won’t last forever, I continue to tell myself this daily. As I have for the past 1,298 days.

It might not become better today, tomorrow, or even months from now. That is okay though, I have a reason to be sad. I have a reason to miss your beautiful voice and your warming touch. I had a chance to have such a beautiful, caring woman as my mother and that is the only thing that matters.

A sunshine is nothing without the sun, eventually they shall meet again.

I love you.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
