An Open Letter to My Boyfriend

You've seen me at my best and my worst.

An Open Letter to My Boyfriend

Dear Love,

In my freshman year of high school, I remember that I used to roll my eyes at all of the the couples kissing in the hallway. I would also groan in annoyance as I pushed my way through the ones who just couldn't keep their hands off of each other - literally. My senior year of high school changed the way that I felt towards that and for once, I understood. I understood what it was like to just want to constantly hold someone's hand, to not be able to keep your eyes off of them, and to be unable to resist the feeling of their lips - even if it was just for one class period. My senior year of high school changed all of that - because of you.

For all of the times that you've held me while I cried and let me stain your brand new shirt with my mascara, thank you.


For all of the times you've warmed my feet while we were cuddling because mine were too cold, thank you.


For all of the times you let me pick the movie that we watch on Netflix that night - even if it bored you to tears, thank you.


For all of the times that you helped me let loose when I was stressed out, thank you.


For all of the times that you made me feel safe in your arms, thank you.


For all of the times that you let me take pictures of us together - even though you hate them, thank you.


For all of the times that you made me feel beautiful in my own skin, thank you.


For all of the times that you showered me in kisses when I needed them the most, thank you.


And for all of the times that you held my hand when I was afraid, thank you.


Thank you for treating me like nothing less than a princess. All of the small things that you do for me never go unnoticed, even if sometimes they seem like they do. I could not ask for a better man to spend my days next to. I try to tell you on a daily basis how much I truly do love you, but I feel as though words will never do justice. For all of the times that you picked me up from work so that I didn't have to walk, thank you. For all of the times that you opened the door for me, thank you. For all of the times you fell asleep with me on the phone at night so that you were there if I had a nightmare, thank you. And for the things that weren't listed, but are greatly appreciated, thank you. Thank you for helping me to grow as a person and making me into the best woman that I can be. You are truly the most incredible boyfriend and best friend that any woman could ever ask for. I cannot thank God enough for bringing you into my life. You're my world.

Love,

Your 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.
